Keto Egg Drop Soup

Ingredients:

• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for a gluten-free option)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Broth:
   • In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken broth over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
2. Add Flavors:
   • Stir in the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Allow the broth to continue simmering for about 2 minutes.
3. Thicken (Optional):
   • If you prefer a slightly thicker soup, mix the cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry and stir it into the broth. Let it cook for another 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
4. Prepare the Eggs:
   • In a small bowl, beat the eggs.
5. Create Egg Ribbons:
   • With the broth simmering, slowly pour the beaten eggs into the soup in a thin stream while gently stirring the broth with a fork or chopsticks. This will create thin, silky ribbons of egg.
6. Season:
   • Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
7. Garnish and Serve:
   • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot.
