instructions
    1

    Begin by peeling and dicing the carrots. Set them aside.

    2

    In a large pot, bring the 4 cups of chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

    3

    Once boiling, add the diced carrots and let them cook for about 10 minutes until tender.

    4

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Add this to the soup to thicken it slightly, stirring well.

    5

    Beat the 2 eggs in a separate bowl. Reduce the heat to low.

    6

    Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup, stirring gently in a circular motion to create egg ribbons.

    7

    Season the soup with salt, black pepper, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir to combine.

    8

    Slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the top just before serving for a fresh garnish.

How to be creative
  • Add a splash of coconut milk for a creamier texture.

Important Tips
  • Ensure the broth is at a gentle simmer before adding the eggs to prevent them from clumping together.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving.
