Method

Chicken Stock

Let us first see how to make the chicken stock, it is always good to take chicken with bone since most of the flavors come from the chicken bone
In a large stockpot add chicken, cloves of Garlic, one large onion roughly chopped, carrot, celery stock, bay leaves, peppercorns and one tablespoon of rock salt(Adjust the salt according to your taste). Add water and let then boil in a medium flame. Let the stock simmer for at least about an hour.
Once done turn off the stove, remove the vegetables and bones through a slotted spoon. These aren’t good to eat because they have been cooking for an hour as all the nutritional value would have cooked out of them. So it is best to discard them.
Now strain the chicken stock. You can store this in an airtight jar for about two weeks and up to 6 months in the freezer.

Egg Drop Soup

Now, let us start making the soup. Pour the egg stock back into the pat, add finely minced ginger, spring onions, soy sauce and give it a quick stir.
Let the stock come to a boil. Meanwhile, whisk the egg in a bowl.
When the soup has come to a boiling state, added the whisked egg into the soup. You must use a fork simultaneously to stir the soup while adding the eggs to it.
You have to make sure that you stir it in the same direction
Add the spring onions green and turn off the stove
Season it with salt and pepper according to your taste
Let the soup simmer undisturbed for a few seconds to finish cooking the eggs. Serve immediately, topped with chopped spring onion greens.
