Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Chicken breast
- 6 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 2 Green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken. Cut the chicken breast into thin, bite-sized strips and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, bring the low-sodium chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add the soy sauce, freshly minced ginger, salt, and white pepper to the broth. Let the flavors meld for 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Slowly stir this mixture into the simmering broth to slightly thicken it.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the chicken strips to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly with a fork until fully combined.
Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup, stirring gently in one direction with a fork or chopsticks to create all those lovely, delicate egg ribbons.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. If using sesame oil, stir it in now for additional aroma and richness.
Chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the soup as a garnish just before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy your light and flavorful Egg Drop Soup with Chicken, perfect for a low-calorie meal!
