Egg Drop Soup & Wonton Soup

I have been making this for at least 30 years. It is one of the things I can still enjoy on my low carb diet.

I boil chicken breasts or thighs for about 15 to 20 minutes then sprinkle them garlic powder and put them under the broiler to finish cooking.

I take the broth from the chicken, add some onions (usually a sprinkle of dehydrated ones) and soy sauce. Bring it to a boil. Break an egg into a bowl and whip it a few times with a fork. Slowly drizzle the egg into the boiling broth. Remove from stove and serve.

Thats it. Add more soy to taste. If you don't want to boil the chicken, just use some bouillion (sp?) cubes with water or use a couple of cans of chicken broth.

I used to make wonton soup the same way just substituting wonton wrappers cut into small squares for the eggs. However a 3 1/2 wonton wrapper has 4.63 carbs and I worry that I would eat too much right now. I will add it back (carefully) when I get to maintenance.

I like lots of pepper and add that into mine. One friend adds a pinch of chili powder and another likes a few dashes of Tabasco in it.

Enjoy,
