Ingredients
Soup Base
- 4 cups Chicken or Beef Broth (preferably low sodium)
- 2 tbsp Liquid Aminos (e.g. BetterBody Foods Organic Coconut Aminos)
- 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
- Sea Salt (to taste)
- Black Pepper (to taste)
Egg Mixture
- 4 medium Eggs (whisked)
Garnish
- 1/4 cup Green Onions (chopped)
Instructions
- Prepare the broth: In a medium-sized saucepan or wok, combine the chicken or beef broth with the liquid aminos and ground ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper to taste.
- Add eggs gradually: Lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Slowly pour the whisked eggs into the broth while stirring constantly in one direction to create silky egg ribbons throughout the soup.
- Simmer and serve: Allow the soup to simmer gently for 5 minutes to fully cook the eggs and blend the flavors. Ladle into bowls and top with chopped green onions before serving hot.
Notes
- Use low sodium broth to better control the salt content in the soup.
- Liquid aminos are a soy-based seasoning alternative to soy sauce, but coconut aminos can also be used for a soy-free option.
- Stirring the eggs slowly and consistently helps form the delicate egg ribbons that characterize egg drop soup.
- This soup is naturally gluten free and keto-friendly, making it suitable for low-carb diets.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preference.
