• cup schicken broth
• green onions, chopped, white and green parts separated
• slice ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper powder
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt(or to taste)
• teaspoon scornstarch
• 1/8 teaspoon turmeric powder, for the yellow color (Optional)
• large eggs, beaten (Footnote 1)

Instructions

1. Combine the chicken broth, the white part of the green onion and ginger in a small pot. Cook over high heat until brought to a boil. Turn to a low heat and let the soup reduce to a simmer.
2. Combine cornstarch, white pepper, turmeric, sea salt and 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Whisk until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Swirl into the soup and mix well with a spatula.
3. To add eggs, hold a fork (or two chopsticks slightly apart) across the top of a small bowl, drizzle the egg mixture slowly through the gaps into the soup. Let the eggs set for a few seconds, then stir gently to break up the egg to the desired sized pieces.
