This is nothing but egg drop soup, jazzed up with crab meat. I prefer cooking this myself to minimize the amount of salt, because believe it or not, I actually care about my health…I use low-sodium chicken broth. And to further strengthen my campaign for “healthy eating”, I use only one egg yolk, the rest are egg whites. I can almost feel my six-pack abs forming as I’m typing this\u2026.<\/p>\n

\"Sautee<\/a>
Sautee 1 cup of crab meat in olive oil and garlic, add some minced ginger. Set-aside<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Beat<\/a>
Beat 1 whole egg plus two egg whites, until foamy. Set aside<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Bring<\/a>
Bring to boil 4 cups of chicken stock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Slowly<\/a>
Slowly pour the beaten eggs, mixing throughout the entire process. This will ensure that eggs will clump uniformly. You don’t want big and small pieces<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Add<\/a>
Add the cooked crabs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Bring<\/a>
Bring to a simmer again, then serve!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Optional: You can add corn, to give the soup some nice crunch. You can also thicken it, restaurant style, by mixing two tablespoons of \u00a0corn starch and 1\/4 cup water. Add this towards the end.<\/p>\n

I have tried using chicken instead of crab and it’s just as good!<\/p>\n
