Lower sodium option for health; vegetable broth can be more economical.

eggs

🥗Healthier: egg whites

Egg whites reduce cholesterol; tofu is a budget-friendly protein alternative.

Mix 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with 9 tablespoons of water in a bowl to create a slurry.

In a pot, bring 6 cups of chicken broth to a simmer.

Pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering broth and whisk until it returns to a simmer.

Break 5 eggs into a bowl and stir them up.

Once the broth is simmering again, slowly pour the beaten eggs into the pot while stirring gently to avoid clumping.

Add chopped green onions to the soup.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, using regular black pepper instead of white pepper.

Turn off the heat after adding the eggs, as they cook almost instantly.
