I used to love sipping egg drop soup when we’d go to our favorite Chinese restaurant. These days, I’m making it at home, but without a high-carb thickener like cornstarch. Same great flavor with only 1 net gram of carbohydrates!
Heat the coconut oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the broth and ginger and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, then, while whisking, slowly pour in the beaten eggs. Add the red pepper flakes and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Remove from the heat and serve.
Notes
Splash in some coconut aminos or tamari along with a sprinkling of chopped green onions for extra flavor.
