Enhanced Egg Drop Soup

Ingredients

Chicken broth

4 cups

Eggs

3, beaten

Green onions

3, chopped

Cornstarch

1 tablespoon

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Sesame oil

1 teaspoon

White pepper

1/2 teaspoon, or to taste

Salt

1/4 teaspoon, or to taste

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth. This will serve as your flavor base.
2. In a medium pot, bring the chicken broth to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
3. Once boiling, slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the broth while stirring constantly. This will help thicken the soup slightly.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
5. With the broth still boiling, slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the pot, using a fork or chopsticks to stir gently. This will create beautiful ribbons of cooked egg as they swirl into the broth.
6. Add the chopped green onions and season the soup with salt and white pepper to taste, adjusting to your preference.
7. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting all the flavors meld together and ensuring it is heated through.
8. Serve the soup hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired, and enjoy the comforting warmth!
