Ingredients
  

2 cups bone broth (or chicken stock)

1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons water (for slurry)

1 cup Hatch green chiles, diced (fresh or canned)

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 cup green onions, sliced (plus extra for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Broth: In a large pot set over medium heat, combine the bone broth, shredded chicken, diced Hatch green chiles, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Stir everything together and allow it to come to a gentle simmer.

    Cook the Chicken and Enhance Flavors: Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, giving the flavors time to meld together and the chicken to warm through.

      Create the Slurry: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. This slurry will help thicken your soup slightly as it cooks.

        Incorporate the Slurry: Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering soup, stirring continuously. Continue stirring for about 1-2 minutes, or until the soup begins to thicken to your desired consistency.

          Add Seasonings: Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil for added depth of flavor. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.

            Create the Egg Ribbons: In another bowl, lightly whisk the eggs until slightly frothy. Reduce the heat to low and carefully drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup while gently stirring. This technique will create lovely ribbon-like strands of egg throughout the soup.

              Finish with Fresh Ingredients: Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the sliced green onions, adding a burst of color and freshness. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro for an aromatic touch.

                Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the warm soup into bowls. For an extra touch, sprinkle additional green onions on top before serving.
