Tips for the Perfect Texture
Getting those signature egg ribbons is easier than you might think. Follow these tips to achieve restaurant-quality results:
- Keep the Broth Hot: The broth needs to be at a gentle boil to cook the eggs as they hit the liquid. If the eggs don’t form ribbons, heat the broth slightly more.
- Pour Slowly: Use a spouted measuring cup to pour the eggs in a thin, steady stream. Pouring too quickly can lead to clumps rather than ribbons.
- Stir Consistently: Maintain a circular stirring motion to create long, silky ribbons that cook evenly.
Creative Ways to Serve
This Carnivore Egg Drop Soup is satisfying on its own but can also be enhanced with complementary dishes:
- Meat Pairings: Serve it alongside grilled steak, chicken wings, or pork chops for a full carnivore feast.
- Fat Boost: Add a dollop of butter or beef tallow to the broth before serving for extra flavor and richness.
- Snacking Option: Pour the soup into a thermos and take it on-the-go for a warm, protein-packed snack.
Storage and Reheating Tips
This soup is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for later:
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheat Gently: Warm the soup over low heat on the stove, stirring occasionally to maintain its smooth texture. Avoid microwaving as it can overcook the eggs.
