A warm, comforting, and creamy keto-friendly egg drop soup that is quick to prepare and perfect for low-carb diets. This recipe creates silky egg ribbons in a flavorful broth with a luscious finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (960 ml) chicken broth, low-sodium preferred
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt to taste (sea salt preferred)
  • Pinch of white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour 4 cups (960 ml) of chicken broth into a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Crack 3 large eggs into a small bowl and whisk gently until combined but not frothy (about 30 seconds). Optionally, add 1 tablespoon of water for thinner egg ribbons.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (if using), a pinch of salt, and white pepper into the simmering broth.
  4. If desired, sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum evenly while whisking briskly to thicken the broth slightly.
  5. Lower heat to medium-low. Slowly pour the whisked eggs into the broth in a steady stream while gently stirring the soup in one direction with a fork or chopstick to create silky egg ribbons (about 1 minute).
  6. Let the soup cook off the heat for another 1-2 minutes to allow the eggs to fully set without overcooking.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions. Adjust salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.

Notes

Pour eggs slowly and stir gently in one direction to create silky ribbons and avoid clumps. Use room temperature eggs to prevent uneven scrambling. Adjust seasoning before adding eggs as it is harder to modify after. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream. Reheat gently on stove to maintain texture; avoid high heat or microwave.
