For an even richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. Its depth will elevate the entire soup. The key to perfect egg ribbons is the temperature of the broth and gentle stirring. Make sure the broth is hot enough and avoid over-mixing the egg. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as sliced mushrooms or baby spinach, for added nutrition and flavor.
