Comfort Food: My Extremely Simple Low Carb Egg Drop Soup

In the words of Barack Obama, ENOUGH!

Even I get sick of politics.... and banging my head on the keyboard is getting me nowhere!

Comfort Food is required!

My Extremely Simple Low Carb Egg Drop Soup

Ingredients:

Chicken Broth, 4 cups
2 Leeks or 4 Green onions, cleaned and sliced thin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fish sauce
½ teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1teaspoon dried lemon grass
4-5 eggs.

Instructions:

In a large sauce pan saute leeks and dried lemon grass in sesame oil on low heat until tender.
Pour in Chicken Broth and other ingredients and bring to a boil.
In a small mixing bowl, break and mix eggs. Strain eggs through fork tines a little at a time, and stir well for a few minutes till egg ribbons are cooked through. Serve hot.

This makes a very satisfying soup-- it's quick, it's easy. Serve with Asian Meatballs , Cauli-Fried Rice, and Low Carb Egg Foo Yung.
