Egg Drop Soup

4 cups chicken broth

1/8 teaspoon ground ginger or 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger

2 Tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions

1 Tablespoon cornstarch

1 egg

1 egg yolk

Reserve 3/4 cup of the chicken broth, and pour the rest into a medium saucepan.  Stir in the ginger and chives and bring to a rolling boil.

In a 1 cup glass measure (with spout), stir together remaining broth and cornstarch.

In another 1 cup glass measure (with spout), whisk the egg and egg yolk together.  Drizzle egg a little at a time into the boiling broth mixture.  Egg will cook immediately.  Once the eggs have been dropped, pour in the cornstarch mixture and stir until the soup is the desired consistency.
