Hot & Sour Soup
This makes 4 servings and the only carbs are the eggs and green onions unless you add more veggies. So I would say less than 2 grams per serving.
32 oz chicken broth(use low sodium as the soy sauce adds a lot of salt)
3 lean trimmed center cut pork chops boneless
1-2 TBS lite soysauce
1 tsp TOASTED sesame oil
1 tsp WHITE pepper
2 TBS rice vinegar(not the seasoned kind it has sugar in it)
2 eggs beaten with 2 TBS water
1/2 tsp Xanthan gum (this thickens it)you may omit this
1-2 tsp fresh minced ginger root
1 bunch green onions for garnish
Slice pork in very very thin strips like match sticks and quickly saute in olive oil for just a minute or 2, do not overcook. Set aside
In a stock pot combine chicken broth, vinegar, ginger root, soy sauce, white pepper, pork, sesame oil and xanthan gum. Bring to a rolling boil and while swirling the soup around slowly drizzel the beaten egg mixture in an even stream. Quickly turn heat off and serve with Chopped green onions. Do not simmer this soup it only takes 5 minutes! Keeps well for about 2 or 3 days.
If you want a more hardy version you can add Tofu, bok choy, bamboo shoots,shitake mushrooms, celery etc.. Tho this will add more carbs. You may also want to add more vinegar, soysauce and white pepper to taste.
Enjoy!
