I have experimented and I love this soup!

I use a can of chicken broth
I add a tablespoon or less of olive oil.
I add a sprinkling of shredded cheese.
I add a sprinkle of salt and pepper
Bring to a boil.

Wisk two or three eggs.

When your liquid is boiling, turn it off and let the water settle. Now take spoons of egg and let it drop into the water, one spoon after another. If it look as thought the eggs don't cook immediately, turn the heat on for just sec til it begins to move the water and turn it off again. Finish adding your eggs.

When all the eggs are in - pour it into a nice big bowl and enjoy! I enjoy mine better than the local china buffet!

I like to do it this way. It gives me the long thin peices of egg like I got in the chinese restaurant. If you add the eggs while the broth is boiling, they puff up like scrambled eggs. It tastes the same but it loses the fun for me. :)

Let me know what you think!

So glad you posted this! I have not been happy with the consistancy of the eggs when I put them in the broth. That is what I've been doing wrong....dropping it in while it is boiling. Thanks so much for the tip! :wave:

HI, Kaleia.. Thanks for the recipe. Why the cheese, and what kind?? Shakey cheese in the green "can?"

Does the soup thicken like the Ch restaurant style?

Going to try this tomorrow. Will keep you posted.

One hint to give it an authentic taste: substitute a little sesame oil for the olive oil. Great recipe!
