Print Recipe

A simple and quick zero carb egg drop soup, perfect for a low-carb or keto diet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or bone broth)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger (or 1/2 tsp fresh grated)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper (or black pepper)
  • 2 tbsp sliced green onions (use mostly green parts to keep carbs ultra low)
  • Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Optional (for slightly thicker soup): 1/8 tsp xanthan gum

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  2. Stir in ginger, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  3. Optional thickening: Whisk in xanthan gum very slowly (a tiny pinch at a time) until dissolved and the broth lightly thickens.
  4. In a small bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir the broth in a slow circle to create a gentle whirlpool, then slowly drizzle in the eggs in a thin stream to form ribbons.
  6. Turn off heat. Stir in sesame oil.
  7. Ladle into bowls and top with sliced green onions. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh ginger for a stronger flavor.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • For a thicker soup, add xanthan gum slowly to avoid clumping.
