Recipe: Egg Drop Soup (GAPS)

Recipe: Egg Drop Soup (GAPS) post image

Egg drop soup — literally — egg flower soup, has become my breakfast during the Detox Challenge and I am loving it! It is fine for Stage 2 if you leave out the seasoning and scallion and by Stage 3, you are good to go with the full recipe. It ensures that I get to drink a large cup of broth every day. This combination is so easy to digest — it is actually the perfect way to start the day!

The broth is made even more nutritious with the addition of a large pastured egg that is gently streamed into the simmering soup. Silky flakes float to the surface and create body and texture to the broth. With the addition of simple seasonings, it far surpasses the MSG laden egg drop soup that is served in a restaurant. Here, the mineral rich sea salt and fresh ginger are high quality seasonings that add to the nutrient content.

Ginger is known for it’s medicinal benefits for anything inflammatory from morning sickness to migraines.

The coconut aminos are a good substitute for soy sauce. While authentic fermented soy sauce is acceptable to some people in small quantities, others prefer not to have any soy. Coconut aminos is a dark, amino acid liquid that is harvested directly from coconut tree sap. It contains 17 naturally-occurring amino acids. The sap is combined with mineral rich sea salt to create a soy sauce like aminos liquid that can help flavor salad dressings, vegetable dishes, sauces and Asian style dishes.

This is a raw product and has no processed or hydrolized ingredients that may create MSG. People who are sensitive to MSG are generally able to use coconut aminos.

Technically coconut aminos should only be used on the full GAPS diet. However, there is such a small amount, I did use it even though I am on GAPS Intro right now.

    Hi,
    Love your posts! Just wondering….is baking soda, baking powder, and chia seed permitted for GAPS? Also, what type of coconut oil and palm oil (expeller pressed, virgin, extra virgin etc. ) is the best to use with GAPS…I’m a little confused about the types and kinds to use.

    Thank you

    Celeste

      Hi Celeste,
      Thanks for your kind works. Baking Powder is not permitted. Baking soda is — get an aluminum free brand — like Bob’s Red Mill. Chia is permitted but ONLY when on full GAP for some time and healing is clear.

    I have eaten a lot of egg drop soup for breakfast while on GAPS too. I use freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of soy sauce or coconut aminos. I love the idea of adding a little bit of ginger. Thanks!

    I don’t like the egg drop soup in most restaurants, but I like making it at home! When I have a cold, I increase the ginger and add some red pepper flakes, and it really helps to clear congestion.

    One thing in your instructions that may not be clear to novice egg drop soup makers: When it says, “Scramble the egg,” that doesn’t mean to cook it as a scrambled egg, just to break the yolk and mix it with the white. The cooking happens after you add it to the soup!

    Being lazy about dishwashing–as well as ambidextrous with large hands–I usually just break the egg into the boiling soup while holding a fork in my other hand so that I can immediately break the yolk and start feathering the egg into the soup. I just hang on to the egg shell until the soup is at the “let stand” stage, then discard the shell and wash my hands. Might not work for everyone…

    I didn’t see in the instructions when to add in the coco aminos. I’m guessing just along with the ginger and scallions?
