My uncle swears by this comforting old fashioned recipe when money is tight. Just 4 ingredients. Warm up with a rich savory soup that takes barely any effort.

Variations & Tips
If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to your bowl before serving. For extra richness without adding many carbs, whisk in a teaspoon of butter or a drizzle of sesame oil right at the end. You can also swap chicken broth for vegetable broth to keep it meat-free, or use bone broth for more protein and a deeper flavor. To stretch the soup for more people without spending much, simply increase the broth and add one extra egg; the garlic and green onions will still carry plenty of flavor. If you want a slightly thicker texture while staying low carb, whisk in 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum with a splash of cold broth, then stir that into the pot before adding the eggs. For meal prep, cool the soup completely, portion into plastic containers, and refrigerate up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring halfway so the egg ribbons stay tender.
