instructions
    1

    Start by placing 1 pound of chicken in a large pot and add 6 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

    2

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

    3

    Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool. Keep the broth simmering.

    4

    While the chicken is cooling, take 2 eggs and beat them in a bowl. Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the simmering broth while stirring gently to create silky egg ribbons.

    5

    Shred the cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot.

    6

    Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the soup, stirring well to combine.

    7

    Chop the green onion and add it to the soup just before serving for a fresh flavor.

    8

    Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

    9

    Serve the soup hot and enjoy!
