Egg Drop Soup (take-out style)

4 cups of veggie or chicken broth

2 coins of fresh ginger

4 green onions

1 or more garlic cloves, minced

2 eggs, scrambled with 2 Tbs of ice water

Bring broth just to a boil with the whites of the green onions, minced garlic, and ginger in it. While you're waiting, finely slice the green onions and scramble the eggs in a measuring cup.

Once the broth has been boiling for a few minutes, add ice water to the eggs and get out a fork. Yes, a fork.

Quickly wave the fork in front of the spout of the measuring cup of scrambled egg. Slowly pour the egg mixture, in a thin stream, into the boiling soup. It should make ribbons. If it makes clumps, it's more steamed scrambled egg, but good.

Bring back to a boil, add the greens of the onions and serve!

Fried wonton strip topping is optional.
