Ingredients

  • 6 cups Chicken Broth
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Tamari Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 2 stalks Green Onions
  • 1/4 tsp White Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum

Instructions

  1. 1Pour the 6 cups of chicken broth into a large heavy-bottomed pot and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat, about 5-7 minutes. The broth should be bubbling vigorously.
  2. 2While the broth heats, measure 2 tablespoons of tamari soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper into a small bowl. Stir them together until combined.
  3. 3In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the 4 large eggs until the yolks and whites are just mixed.
  4. 4Once the broth is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high to maintain a vigorous simmer, about 375°F (190°C). Slowly and steadily drizzle the beaten eggs into the simmering broth while gently stirring the broth in a circular motion with a fork or whisk. Continue stirring for about 30 seconds until thin ribbons of cooked egg form.
  5. 5Add the tamari soy sauce mixture from step 2 to the pot. In a tiny separate bowl, whisk the 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum with about 2 tablespoons of the hot broth from the pot until smooth, then pour this slurry into the pot while whisking constantly. Continue to simmer and whisk for 1-2 minutes, or until the soup has slightly thickened to your desired consistency.
  6. 6Wash the 2 stalks of green onions. Thinly slice them crosswise to create small rounds.
  7. 7Ladle the hot soup into serving bowls. Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top of each bowl just before serving.
