Ingredients for Keto Egg Drop Soup

To make this delicious soup, you'll need just a few simple ingredients:

  • 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp ground white pepper (optional, for heat)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder or ginger powder (optional, for added flavor)
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (optional, for slight thickening)
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions (for garnish)
  • Salt to taste

How to Make Keto Egg Drop Soup

1. Heat the Broth: In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat. Add sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, and white pepper if using.

2. Optional: Thicken the Soup: If you prefer a slightly thicker soup, sprinkle xanthan gum into the broth while whisking continuously to avoid clumping.

3. Create Egg Ribbons: Reduce the heat to low. Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the simmering broth while stirring gently with a fork or chopsticks. This creates the signature ribbons of egg.

4. Season and Garnish: Taste and add salt if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions.
