Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 4 cups bone broth (chicken or beef, preferably homemade or high-quality store-bought)

• 6-8 large eggs, lightly beaten

• 1 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce (optional for flavor)

• 1 tsp fresh grated ginger (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)

• 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional, for a thicker soup)

• 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Broth:
   In a medium saucepan, heat the bone broth over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Stir in the ginger and coconut aminos (if using). Adjust salt and pepper to your preference.

2. Optional Thickening:
   If you prefer a slightly thicker soup, whisk the cornstarch or arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering broth, stirring constantly to avoid clumping. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

3. Create the Egg Ribbons:
   Reduce the heat to low so the broth is no longer boiling. Hold a fork or chopsticks above the saucepan and slowly pour the beaten eggs in a thin stream through the prongs or chopsticks. Gently stir the broth in one direction to create delicate egg ribbons.

4. Finish and Serve:
   Remove the soup from heat and ladle it into bowls. Garnish with fresh green onions for a pop of color and flavor. Serve hot.
