Ingredients
  

  • 32 oz chicken broth or chicken bone broth 4 cups
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon tamari or coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 3 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 green onions
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • optional- red pepper flakes sriracha sauce

Instructions
 

  • Add the chicken broth, tamari sauce, ginger, sesame oil, and garlic salt to a medium pot. Heat on medium-high until the broth starts to boil. Turn the burner down to low and simmer.
  • Beat the eggs in a small bowl.
  • While constantly stirring the broth mixture, slowly stir in the eggs in one direction to create the egg “ribbons.”
  • Add the sliced green onion to the pot, season with salt and pepper if desired. Divide the soup between 2-4 soup bowls. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Making the soup spicier- Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or sriracha sauce. 
  • To thicken the egg drop soup- If you want to thicken the egg drop soup, add up to 2 tablespoon of corn starch along with the cold broth, soy/tamari/coconut aminos, ginger and sesame oil before heating it. Whisk until smooth to keep the corn starch from clumping. Many people following a low carb diet use arrowroot as a thicken instead.
  • Tasty additions- cooked chicken, tofu, mushrooms or other low carb veggies
  • Use Tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce to keep this is a gluten free recipe.
  • We used the frozen ginger cubes from Trader Joes, fresh ginger will work too.
