Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1/4 of a white onion, chopped
- 2 stalks of celery, chopped
- 4 cups of chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons of gluten free soy sauce
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons of water
- Chopped chives
Instructions
- Heat the sesame oil in a medium sized soup pot over medium-high heat.
- Saute the chopped onion and celery in the oil for about 3 minutes, until they start to soften.
- Add in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil.
- Stir in the soy sauce, then taste test and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Crack the two eggs in a bowl and whisk them well. Stir a dash of salt and pepper into the eggs.
- Once the broth is boiling, turn the burner off and stir the broth clockwise until it creates a sort of whirlpool. Pour the whisked eggs into the whirlpool and keep stirring. The eggs should cook quickly and form ribbons.
- In a small cup, mix the cornstarch with the water (add more water if the mixture is too thick). Pour the cornstarch/water mixture into the soup and mix well. This will make the soup thicken to be an almost creamy texture.
- Dish it up into two to four servings (depending on whether it’s a main dish or a side) and garnish each bowl with some chopped chives.
If you want to add some spice, stir in a teaspoon of sriracha sauce or some red pepper flakes!

Sounds wonderful! Can you recreate hot and sour soup, too? I love the taste but haven’t gotten it right yet!
