Why did the chicken not cross the road? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Why did the chicken not cross the road? Because she knew if she got on the other side, she would be in this pot of soup. Ok, that’s a pretty corny joke.<\/p>\n

This may look like the first egg drop soup I posted last January but it isn’t. Recently I made Egg Roll In A Bowl for dinner one night and I did not want to dump the extra ingredients I had left over. I have to look hard to find bean sprouts and when I find them I have to use them within a couple of days so they don’t go bad. So after making that other dish I still had some ground chicken and pork and half a bag of bean sprouts left over and since egg drop soup is my favorite Chinese soup I decided to mess with the other recipe and be a little thrifty.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How could egg drop soup not be someone’s favorite soup. Just look at those threads of egg floating in the broth and the carrot flowers are so cute; almost too cute to eat but we did.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for a soup to warm you up this fall\/winter, please give this a try.<\/p>\n

I had some meat and bean sprouts left over from making by Egg Roll In A Bowl so decided to come up with a soup to use leftovers.<\/p>\n

Use a channel knife and cut 4-5 grooves down the side of a carrot then cut into thin flower shapes.<\/p>\n

Put the brown in a soup pot and bring to a boil, add the carrots and then simmer for 6-7 minutes until they are just starting to get tender.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6547\"<\/p>\n

Add in the bean sprouts, some of the green onions, the arrowroot mixture, ginger and seasoning. Beat the two eggs with a whisk and pour a small stream into the soup using a fork to keep things stirred up so the egg does not clump.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/div>\t\t\t
    \t\t\t\t
  1. 6 cups chicken broth<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  2. 6 oz. cooked ground chicken (or ground pork loin)<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  3. 1\/3 c. green onions, more for garnish<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  4. 1 c. bean sprouts (more if you really like bean sprouts<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  5. 1\/2 tsp. grated fresh ginger<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  6. 2 eggs, beaten with whisk<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  7. 1 carrot cut into carrot flowers (see note below on how to do it)<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  8. 1 tsp. sesame oil<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  9. 1 tsp. Tamari<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  10. thinly sliced jalape\u00f1o for garnish<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  11. 1 Tbsp. arrowroot dissolved in 2 Tbsp. water.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
    \t\t\t
    Instructions<\/div>\t\t\t
      \t\t\t\t
    1. Put the chicken broth in a soup pot and heat. While that is heating, make your carrot flowers.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    2. Carrot flowers -- Peel the carrot and then using a channel knife, go down the sides of the carrot in 4-5 locations, straight down. Then cut the carrot into very thin slices and you will see little flower shaped carrots.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    3. Drop the carrot flowers into the pot of broth and cook until almost tender then add in the cooked ground chicken, bean sprouts, the 1\/3 cup green onions, fresh ginger and Soy Sauce (or Tamari). Stir the arrowroot (or cornstarch) into the 2 tablespoons of water until it is smooth. Stir this slowly into the pot of soup. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until everything is heated. Add in the sesame oil.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    4. Beat the two eggs with a whisk and put in a measuring cup with a spout. Turn the heat off and using a fork, pour the egg in a thin stream into the soup pot using the fork to keep things moving so the egg doesn't clump together.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    5. Garnish with thinly sliced jalape\u00f1o, freshly grated black pepper. Serve with some won ton crisp if you want to add a little crunch.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    6. Bon Appetite!<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
