Whisk eggs until smooth and slightly frothy. This helps create the silky texture of the eggs when they’re added to the broth, giving the soup its signature egg ribbons.
Add freshly grated ginger and soy sauce to the broth for a burst of flavor. These ingredients bring depth and richness, making the soup more aromatic.
Mix a little cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add it to the broth to slightly thicken the soup, giving it a richer, more satisfying texture.
Once the broth is hot and simmering, slowly drizzle in the whisked eggs. Stir gently as the eggs cook, forming delicate ribbons throughout the soup.
Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed. This simple step enhances the flavor, ensuring the soup is well-seasoned without being too salty.
Let the soup simmer for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the chicken to fully absorb the spices and seasonings.
The mild taste of broccoli combined with cheese makes this soup a hit with both kids and adults alike.
