Comforting Gluten-Free Chinese Egg Drop Soup

Enjoy the soothing and delicious flavors of this gluten-free Chinese egg drop soup.

Ingredients:

4 cups gluten-free chicken or vegetable broth
2 eggs
2 green onions, finely sliced
1 teaspoon gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions:

In a pot, bring the gluten-free chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

While the broth is simmering, whisk the eggs in a bowl until well beaten.

Stir in finely sliced green onions, gluten-free soy sauce or tamari, grated ginger, white pepper, and salt into the simmering broth.

Optional: If you prefer a slightly thicker soup, mix the cornstarch with a small amount of cold water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering soup while stirring constantly. Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the soup thickens slightly.

Once the soup is ready, use a fork or chopsticks to stir the simmering broth in a circular motion.

Gradually pour the beaten eggs into the swirling broth, creating delicate egg ribbons. The eggs will cook almost instantly upon contact with the hot broth.

Once the egg ribbons have formed, remove the pot from heat.

Ladle the gluten-free Chinese egg drop soup into serving bowls.

Garnish the soup with chopped fresh cilantro leaves for added flavor and freshness.
