Instructions
Place large pot on stovetop over medium-high heat.
Add 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, ½ cup sliced green onions, 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce , ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper to pot. Stir to incorporate ingredients, then bring mixture to rolling boil.
Once mixture begins to boil, immediately reduce heat to low.
Crack 2 large eggs into small mixing bowl. Add 1 large egg yolk to bowl, discarding or reserving egg white as desired.
Whisk eggs and egg yolk together until fully incorporated and mixture is no longer streaky.
Use wooden spoon to slowly stir soup mixture clockwise. While stirring soup, slowly pour egg mixture into pot, stirring soup clockwise without stopping. Continue until entire egg mixture has been added to soup.
Once entire egg mixture has been added to soup, immediately remove pot from heat. Portion soup into serving bowls and garnish with ¼ cup sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Chicken Broth: For a more nutrient-dense soup, use a homemade bone broth instead of typical canned chicken broth.
Salt: If you're using full-sodium broth or soy sauce, omit the additional ½ teaspoon salt until you've tasted the soup.
Consistency: For a thicker soup, reserve 1 cup of chicken broth at the beginning of the recipe. Whisk together the 1 cup of broth and 2 teaspoons xanthan gum until fully combined. Add xanthan slurry to pot after adding eggs.
Make it Vegetarian: Replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth.
