04 Step

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped scallions, if desired. Serve immediately.
For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth.
To prevent the egg from clumping, ensure the broth is simmering gently, not boiling vigorously, when adding the egg.
A splash of soy sauce or a dash of white pepper can enhance the savory notes of the soup.
Feel free to experiment with different vegetable combinations, such as corn, edamame, or water chestnuts.

Jan 8, 2025I found that adding a small amount of cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water) to the broth before adding the egg helped to thicken the soup a little more.
