Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for added heat

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Add the shredded cabbage and minced garlic to the simmering broth. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
  • While the cabbage is cooking, crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly with a fork.
  • Once the cabbage is tender, reduce the heat to low and slowly pour the beaten eggs into the soup in a steady stream, stirring gently with a fork or chopsticks to create egg ribbons.
  • Stir in the sliced green onions, soy sauce or tamari, and sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let the soup simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you like your soup spicy, you can add red pepper flakes at this point.
  • Serve hot, garnished with additional sliced green onions if desired.
