PALEO EGG DROP SOUP

Egg drop soup (also called egg flower soup) is a simple and delicious soup that you can find at most Chinese restaurants. You can add additional ingredients such as ginger and mushrooms, but I like mine plain. I like to use homemade chicken broth but store bought will work just as well. You can adjust the amount of sea salt and pepper to your taste. I have seen people dump a whole lot of ground pepper in this stuff.
It always cracks me up when someone really enjoys a recipe of mine that is this simple. It almost doesn't seem like I should be allowed to call it a "recipe" because it is that easy to make. I made this for my mother and she raved about it all night and even the next morning. If only she knew it only took me 10 minutes to throw together. But we will just let her think I am an amazing cook and wont tell her my little soup secret. Unless she is reading this. In which case.... secret is out, and I love ya mom!
