Ingredients
  

2 cups bone broth (or chicken stock)

1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons water (for slurry)

1 cup Hatch green chiles, diced (fresh or canned)

1 teaspoon ginger, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 cup green onions, sliced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare Broth: In a large pot over medium heat, add the bone broth, shredded chicken, diced Hatch green chiles, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

    Cook Chicken and Flavors: Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to heat through.

      Make Egg Drop Slurry: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. This will help thicken the soup slightly.

        Add Slurry: Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering soup, stirring continuously until the soup starts to thicken. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

          Add Soy Sauce and Seasonings: Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper if needed.

            Create Egg Ribbons: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until slightly beaten. Reduce the heat to low, and slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring gently. This will create beautiful egg ribbons throughout the soup.

              Finish and Garnish: Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the sliced green onions and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

                Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy it warm, with additional green onions sprinkled on top if you like.
