• 1 teaspoon Fresh grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 Green onions (sliced thinly)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium pot, bring the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to create a smooth slurry. Slowly stir the slurry into the simmering broth to slightly thicken it.

Slowly drizzle the whisked eggs into the simmering broth in a thin stream while gently stirring the soup in one direction with a fork or chopsticks. This creates the signature egg ribbons.
