Gingery Egg Drop Soup With Greens


We've added the powerhouse vegetable Swiss chard to this savory, chicken broth based soup. Scallions, fresh ginger and soy sauce add classic Chinese flavor. The soup is finished by adding a thin stream of beaten egg whites in the final moments of cooking, creating beautiful, wispy strands that float in the soup.
