Low-carb spicy egg drop soup is a delicious and nutritious dish that combines the rich flavors of chicken gravy with the lightness of freshly beaten eggs. With just a hint of heat from red pepper and a dash of black pepper, this soup is both simple to prepare and satisfying to eat. Perfect for those following a low-carb diet, this recipe requires minimal ingredients and effort, yet delivers maximum flavor.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized pot, pour in 4 cups of chicken gravy.
- Place the pot over medium heat and bring the gravy to a gentle simmer.
- Once the gravy starts to simmer, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the pot. Stir well to ensure the spice is evenly distributed.
- Add a dash of black pepper (approximately 1/10g) to the gravy. Adjust the amount to your taste preference for spiciness.
- Crack the 2 eggs into a small bowl. Beat them lightly with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are well combined.
- With the gravy gently simmering, slowly pour the beaten eggs into the pot in a thin stream. The key is to move slowly to create silky egg ribbons.
- As you pour, stir the soup gently in a circular motion with a fork or chopsticks. This will help form the characteristic egg drop ribbons.
- Let the soup simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the eggs to cook fully. The eggs should set quickly in the hot gravy.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more black pepper or red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicier kick.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. You can garnish with chopped green onions or fresh cilantro if desired for added flavor and color.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: For the best flavor, use freshly made chicken gravy and fresh eggs.
- Stirring technique: Stir the soup in one direction while slowly pouring in the beaten eggs to create long, silky strands.
- Adjusting spiciness: If you prefer a less spicy soup, reduce the amount of red pepper or omit it entirely. Conversely, if you like it extra spicy, feel free to add more red pepper or even a splash of hot sauce.
- Garnishing: Garnish with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
- Serving suggestion: Serve the soup hot, and consider pairing it with a light salad or some steamed vegetables to keep the meal low-carb and balanced.
Enjoy your delicious and warming low-carb spicy egg drop soup. This dish is perfect for a quick meal or as a starter to a more substantial dinner. Its simplicity in preparation and balance of flavors make it a go-to recipe for any time you need a healthy and satisfying dish.
