Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Create a cornstarch slurry by combining ¼ cup of low-sodium chicken broth with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in a measuring cup. Stir until smooth.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat 3 ¾ cups of low-sodium chicken broth to a gentle simmer. Add ground ginger, tamari soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, kosher salt, and ground turmeric. Stir well.
  3. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering broth while stirring continuously to avoid clumping. Simmer for another minute until slightly thickened.
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir the soup. Pour in the beaten eggs in a thin stream, allowing them to set for about 30 seconds, forming delicate ribbons.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions. Enjoy your comforting egg drop soup!
