Level: Easy
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 3 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cups Mushroom Broth
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cups Thinly sliced mushrooms of your choice
- 1 Egg
- 5 Shallots, light green parts only and thinly sliced
- Sesame oil, for drizzling
- Red pepper flakes, to garnish
Preparation
1. Bring the chicken and mushroom broths to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Reduce heat to medium and stir in mushrooms. Continue cooking for 5 minutes or until the mushrooms have reduced to about half their size.
3. Whisk the egg vigorously in a measuring cup with a pour spout. Hold the measuring cup with the egg about 12 inches above the pot of simmering soup and – very slowly – pour it into the hot soup, stirring the soup in a circular motion as you go. The egg to cook immediately and form thin ribbons. Don’t worry if the soup gets cloudy, that’s okay as it thickens a bit. You want to see this, especially in cornstarch-free egg soup.
4. Add the green onions to the soup and stir one last time to combine everything.
5. Pour into bowls. Drizzle each bowl with a little sesame oil and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra punch. Serve immediately while the soup is hot.
