- 200 grams fresh abalone, cleaned and thinly sliced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 medium carrot, diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce, low-sodium
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced

- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
In a large pot over medium heat, add the diced carrot, celery, and chopped onion. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are beginning to soften.
Add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger to the pot, and stir for 1 minute until aromatic.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth and 2 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Once the broth is boiling, add the sliced abalone and reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the soup to help thicken it slightly. Add in the low-sodium soy sauce, salt, and freshly ground black pepper, and stir well.
Simmer the soup for an additional 5 minutes, adjusting the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with thinly sliced green onions and chopped fresh cilantro leaves. Enjoy the hearty and low-fat delicacy.
