Keto Egg Drop Soup

This Keto Egg Drop Soup is a simple, broth-based dish where beaten eggs are poured into hot chicken broth mixed with soy sauce and seasonings, creating delicate ribbons of cooked egg. The soup is light yet comforting, flavored with garlic powder and salt, and garnished with fresh green onions. It's suitable for a light lunch or first course.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chicken broth not low-sodium
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce or a gluten-free alternative, reduced-sodium
  • 2 egg large
  • Pinch kosher salt Diamond Crystal brand
  • Pinch garlic powder
  • 1 green onion chopped, green parts only, large

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the broth and soy sauce in a medium pot over medium-high heat.
  2. While the broth is heating, whisk the eggs with the salt and garlic powder in a spouted measuring cup.
  3. When the broth starts to boil, use a non-slotted spoon (such as a wooden spoon) to stir the soup. Slowly drip the egg into the broth, continually stirring as you pour the eggs. Make sure to stir in the same direction.
  4. As soon as you're done pouring the eggs in, remove the soup from the heat and pour it into soup bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve.

Notes

  • Store-bought chicken broth is acceptable; avoid low-sodium versions as they reduce the soup's flavor.
  • This version omits cornstarch, so the soup is not as thick as restaurant versions but gains creaminess from the egg ribbons.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 3-4 days but may develop rubbery eggs when reheated.
  • Add tofu, cooked chicken, or meatballs afterward to turn this soup into a more filling meal.
