When I'm craving something hot and tasty, I often turn to chicken soup of some sort. My favorite version is the traditional Asian Chicken Soup with eggs streamed in to form wonderful threads of protein!
Here is a basic recipe although I do like to enhance it with finely chopped carrots and celery from time to time.
4 cups chicken broth or stock
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 -2 green onions, minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
A few drops of sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon finely grated, fresh ginger
Place everything in a pot EXCEPT for the green onions and eggs. If you are using minced vegetables, simmer until they are tender. Bring the broth to a simmer and swirl in the eggs, stirring gently to form threads. Don't worry if they get a little clumpy as it doesn't change the taste.
Sprinkle each serving with some of the minced green onions and serve immediately. You won't need a fortune cookie to tell yourself how lucky your are to have a bowl of this in front of you!
