Ingredients:
- 4 cups chicken broth (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, and let them simmer for about 2-3 minutes to infuse the broth with flavor.
- Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed, keeping in mind that soy sauce can be salty.
- While the broth is simmering, slowly pour the beaten eggs into the soup in a thin, steady stream. Use a fork or chopsticks to gently stir the eggs in a clockwise motion. This will create those beautiful egg ribbons characteristic of egg drop soup.
- Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set.
- Remove the soup from heat and garnish it with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro (if desired).
- Ladle the Homemade Egg Drop Soup into bowls and serve it hot. Enjoy your comforting keto-friendly soup!
