Notes
Tips: Soup can be made with chicken or beef broth. (In absence of either, I use boullion cubes). It is important turn heat off immediately after egg is stirrd in, so that egg will float like a cloud to surface. (Scallions are fairly large so 3-4 green onions would probably be about right).
Serves 4.
