Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken broth divided
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 clove garlic whole
- 1 lice fresh ginger ½-inch thick
- 5 green onions thinly sliced, whites and greens divided
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- red pepper flakes to taste, optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the chicken broth and the cornstarch to create a slurry.
- In a pot, bring the remaining chicken broth, garlic clove, ginger slice, and the whites of the green onions to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the cornstarch mixture. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Slowly pour in the beaten eggs in a thin stream (*see note) while stirring the soup. Once the eggs are added, bring just to a boil and remove from the heat.
- Discard the ginger and garlic clove. Top with green onions and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Notes
- Ensure the eggs are very well whisked before beginning.
- *An easy way to pour the eggs is to place them in a small sandwich bag and snip a very small hole in the corner. Squeeze the eggs into the broth while stirring.
- Broth should be simmering, not boiling, while adding the eggs.
- Optional additions: Thinly sliced mushrooms, bean sprouts, diced tofu, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, white pepper.
