Equipment
- 1 Pot (Medium to Large Size)
- 1 whisk
- 1 Fork (for stirring eggs into the broth)
- 1 Bowl (for whisking eggs)
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 4 cups Bone Broth or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 clove Garlic minced
- 1- inch piece Ginger grated
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos for keto-friendly option
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 cup Spinach optional, chopped
- 1/4 cup Green Onions optional, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Broth: In a medium pot, heat the bone broth over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
- Season the Broth: Add minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), salt, and pepper to the simmering broth. Stir occasionally to combine the flavors.
- Whisk the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are well blended.
- Create the Egg Ribbons: Reduce the heat to low-medium. Slowly pour the whisked eggs into the simmering broth while gently stirring with a fork. The eggs will form delicate ribbons in the soup. Let them cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add Vegetables (Optional): If you are using spinach or green onions, add them to the soup and cook for an additional minute until the spinach wilts.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately, enjoying the rich and comforting texture of the egg drop soup.
Notes
- Adjusting Consistency: If the soup is too thick, you can thin it by adding extra bone broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Flavor Variations: Feel free to add other low-carb vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers to enhance the flavor and texture.
- Protein Boost: Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for an added protein boost.
