Egg Drop Soup

Serves 3

Ingredients:

3 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash white pepper
1 , medium green onion, (with top), chopped
2 eggs slightly beaten

Heat broth, salt and white pepper to rolling boil in 2-quart saucepan over high heat. (If broth is not heated to a rolling boil, egg will not form threads.)

Stir green onion into eggs. Pour egg mixture slowly into broth, stirring constantly with fork, until egg forms threads.

**This is a Chinese standard and amount the simplest soups in the world to make. The only trick is to be sure the broth is at a full, rolling boil as you stir in the beaten eggs. This ensures that the soup's signature thin threads of cooked egg float throughout.
