We have decided to make our Keto diet exciting by trying new recipes everyday. So Mondays are Chinese nights and this week I decided to prepare Egg Drop Soup and serve it with a hearty Garden Salad followed by Stir Fried Shrimp and Scallions on a bed of Zucchini Noodles. The dinner was a hit and Debarshi even gave me the compliment that if I continue to serve him such good meals then he will not miss rice at all (which is a huge compliment because he loves to eat rice everyday!). So, without further ado, let me present to you the recipe of easy homemade Egg Drop Soup.

Ingredients (Serves 2):

• Egg - 1 
• Chicken Broth – 2 cups
• Red Pepper Flakes – a pinch
• Black Pepper - freshly grounded (for more flavor)
• Scallions – 1, cut into thin slices (for garnish)
• Soy Sauce – 1 teaspoon, optional

Directions:

• Scramble the Egg in a bowl with the fresh Black Pepper and set aside.
• Heat a small pot on the stove over high heat.
• Add the Chicken Broth with the Red Pepper Flakes in it.
• Once it starts boiling, slowly stir in the Egg mixture and continue to mix until it boils again. 
• Egg Drop Soup is ready! Garnish with the Scallions and serve immediately.

Tip: Add a few drops of Soy Sauce in the soup for color and flavor.
