Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs, whisked
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a medium pot, heat chicken broth over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer.
  • Stir in garlic powder, ginger, soy sauce (or tamari), and sesame oil. Mix well.
  • Slowly sprinkle xanthan gum into the broth while whisking to avoid clumps.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth and frothy.
  • While stirring the broth gently in one direction, slowly pour in the eggs to create ribbons.
  • Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle into bowls, garnish with green onions or parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • You can add cooked shredded chicken, shrimp, or vegetables like spinach for extra protein and flavor.
  • If you don’t have xanthan gum, the soup will still be delicious, just a bit thinner.
