💡Tips
1. Broth Temperature
The broth needs to be simmering, not boiling wildly. You’ll know it’s ready when you see small bubbles rising to the surface steadily, but it’s not churning like crazy.
If the broth is too hot, your eggs will cook too quickly and become chunky instead of forming those nice, silky ribbons. If it’s not hot enough, the eggs will just sink to the bottom and make a mess.
2. The Pouring Technique
Hold your bowl of whisked eggs about 3-4 inches above the pot. Pour them in a thin, steady stream while stirring the broth below.
Don’t dump all the eggs in one spot! Think of it like drawing circles with the egg stream while you pour. If you pour too quickly, you’ll end up with big clumps of egg instead of delicate ribbons.
Too slowly, and you’ll get tiny, broken pieces. The whole pouring process should take about 10-15 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I make this recipe with store-bought broth?
Yes, you can definitely use store-bought broth! Look for bone broth that has no added vegetables or seasonings to keep it carnivore friendly.
Some good options are plain beef bone broth or chicken bone broth. Just make sure to check the ingredients list carefully. Many store-bought broths contain onions, carrots, or other vegetables.
2. Do I need to use room temperature eggs?
While room temperature eggs are slightly better because they mix more evenly, you can use cold eggs straight from the fridge.
The main thing is to whisk them very well before adding them to the soup. If you have time, taking the eggs out 15 minutes before cooking will help them blend more smoothly, but it’s not crucial.
