Ingredients & Easy Substitutions
- Chicken Broth – Use a good-quality broth for rich flavor. Vegetable or bone broth works too.
- Eggs – Adds protein and creates the classic egg ribbons.
- Green Onion – Adds a mild onion flavor and garnish. Chives can be used as a substitute.
- Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos – Adds a bit of umami; coconut aminos keep it soy-free.
- Sesame Oil – Gives the soup a hint of nuttiness. You can omit it if preferred.
- Salt & Pepper – For seasoning to taste.
How to Make Keto Egg Drop Soup
- Prepare the Broth: In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Add Seasonings: Stir in the soy sauce or coconut aminos, sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Create the Egg Ribbons: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Slowly pour the eggs into the boiling broth while gently stirring in one direction. The eggs will form delicate ribbons.
- Finish with Green Onions: Turn off the heat and add the sliced green onions.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy your warm, keto-friendly Egg Drop Soup!
Pro Tips for Perfect Results
- Slowly Pour the Eggs: Pouring the eggs slowly while stirring helps create thin, ribbon-like strands.
- Adjust Seasonings: Taste the broth before adding salt, as some broths and soy sauces can be quite salty.
- For a Thicker Soup: Mix 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum into the broth for a thicker consistency.
Storing & Serving Suggestions
- Storage: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheating: Gently reheat on the stove over low heat; avoid boiling to keep the egg ribbons intact.
- Serving Ideas: Pair with a keto side salad or keto-friendly crackers for a complete meal.
FAQs: Everything You Need to Know
