[EGGS]: Egg Drop Soup - tons of protein

[bigmantitties]

Egg Drop Soup

It's like a protein shake made with real food. Satisfies the Chinese Food craving for me.

Protein: 20g (egg whites, chicken broth)
Fat: 0g
Carbs: 4g (egg whites, chicken broth)


4 cups chicken broth
1 Tbsp Vinegar (rice or white)
2 tsp soy sauce
4 egg whites

Bring broth to a light boil, remove from heat. Stir broth into a swirling whirlpool while you crack in the egg whites. Add in vinegar and soy sauce to taste-- you may want it more or less sour / salty.


BROTH: This makes a huge difference on the quality. You can use canned, boxed, or cubes.. The best tasting is Campbell's Chicken Broth in a 4-cup box, but it is quite salty and has MSG. Some of the 'organic' brands are more vegetable stock than chicken stock and have more carbs than protein.

VINEGAR: Rice wine vinegar works the best but you can go with any light colored you have.

SOY: Omit if cutting out sodium

EGG WHITES: Yum yum protein.. this is a great way to get more egg whites in. You can add in more per cup of soup easily.

(Adding veggies would not be bad either-- even chicken)

That's very similar to the chicken soup i make.

It's even better cos the broth is fresh.

I get a load of chicken legs, trim off any of the meat (put in fridge), and stick all the bones in a stewing pot and cover it with water.
Cook on low heat 50degC-ish for about 4-5 hours.
Strain the mixture to remove the bones and extra bits.
Put the stock in the fridge.
Several hours later a layer of fat will develop on the top, just skim this off.
You now have a vat of chicken broth.

Usually i cook the trimmed off meat and add it to the soup.

Best of all... chicken legs / thighs can be used and are nice and cheap.
