Silky egg ribbons in warm chicken broth — comforting, gentle on the stomach, and surprisingly protein-rich.
Each egg adds about 6g protein. This is an easy way to hit your protein target on days when solid food feels impossible.
Serves 1 · 2 min prep · 8 min cook
Bring 1.5 cups (350ml) chicken broth to a gentle boil in a saucepan.
~5 min
Beat 3 large eggs in a bowl.
Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the simmering broth in a thin stream while stirring gently with a fork to create ribbons.
~2 min
Use vegetable broth for vegetarian. Not viable for vegan.
Season with a pinch of salt and white pepper. Optionally top with sliced green onion.
The key is pouring eggs slowly in a thin stream — this creates the classic silky ribbons rather than scrambled chunks.
