6 cups low sodium chicken broth
\nseveral slices of ginger
\n1 large egg
\n1 large egg white
\n2 teaspoons water
\n1 tablespoon soy sauce
\n1 tablespoon cornstarch whisked into 3 tablespoons cold water
\n2 scallions (green and white parts), minced<\/p>\n
Add the chicken brothand ginger to a 3- to 4-quart saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. While the broth heats, in a small bowl blend the egg, egg white and water together. When the broth comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium. Whisk in soy sauce. (Note: I put in scallions here instead of the end like the recipe says because I like them kinda cooked and soft, and if I have fresh cilantro on hand, I put in a handful here too) Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring, until soup thickens. Reduce heat to low, pour eggs over surface of soup, allow to set for a few seconds, then use long chopsticks (I just use a fork) to stir briskly, creating tender “egg flowers.” Gently stir in the scallions. Serve immediately, before the eggs toughen.<\/p>\n
