High-Protein Egg Drop Soup

Ingredients

• 2 cup chicken bone broth (preferably homemade or high-quality)
• 0.5 tsp chicken bouillon (powder or paste)
• 0.25 tsp garlic powder
• 0.125 tsp turmeric (to add a golden color)
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)
• 0.5 cup shredded chicken (cooked)
• 2 eggs (beaten)
• 2 green onions (chopped, for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   In a medium pot, combine the chicken bone broth, chicken bouillon, garlic powder, and turmeric.

2. 2

   Season with salt and pepper to taste, and whisk the mixture until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

3. 3

   Bring the mixture to medium heat and add the shredded chicken.

4. 4

   Once the broth is gently simmering, create a whirlpool in the liquid with a spoon and slowly pour in the beaten eggs in a thin stream to create silky ribbons.

5. 5

   Remove from the heat immediately and serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped green onions.

Notes

Turmeric is used primarily to create the soup’s characteristic vibrant yellow color, like that of restaurant-style soup, without the need for artificial coloring.
