Yield Makes 2 servings (light main course) or 4 servings (first course)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 scallions, divided
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 (2-inch) piece peeled ginger, sliced
1 skinless boneless chicken breast half (6 to 8 ounces)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon white pepper (optional)
Accompaniment:
Asian sesame oil

Steps:

  • Smash 3 scallions and cut into 2-inch pieces, then put in a 2-quart saucepan with water, broth, ginger, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, then poach chicken at a bare simmer, uncovered, until just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let broth steep, covered, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, chop remaining 3 scallions and shred chicken.
  • Discard scallions and ginger from broth and bring to a brisk simmer. Add beaten eggs in a slow stream, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in scallions, chicken, and white pepper (if using). Serve drizzled with sesame oil.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, so I used less than the recipe called for. The soup was still delicious.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I made this soup without them. It was still really good!
