Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp turmeric, for color (optional)
- cornstarch slurry (mix 2 tbsp cornstarch with 3 tbsp water)
- 1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)
- sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a small pot, add chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Then add salt, white pepper, and turmeric (for color). Slowly add your cornstarch slurry while stirring the soup continuously. Let the broth simmer for a few minutes to allow it to thicken to your preferred consistency.
- In a bowl, add 3 eggs and whisk them lightly.
- Turn the heat down to low to ensure the broth is gently simmering but not boiling. Slowly drizzle the eggs into the broth, while stirring the soup in a circular motion with a spoon. Continue stirring until you have added all the eggs. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Transfer the soup into a big bowl. Drizzle some sesame oil and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
