Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (for garnish, optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into smaller pieces, until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika, cooking for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken or vegetable broth, and soy sauce. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Season the chili with salt and black pepper. Adjust spices to taste, if desired.
Reduce the heat to low, then slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the simmering chili in a thin stream, stirring lightly as you go to create ribbons of egg.
Let the egg cook for 1-2 minutes until set.
Ladle the egg drop chili into bowls and top with sliced green onions and optional chopped cilantro for garnish.
Serve hot and enjoy!
