- 2 cups chicken bone broth (I love Bonafide Provisions brand)
- 1 handful raw baby spinach
- 1/2 avocado pitted + diced
- 1 egg beaten
- pinch sea salt to taste
- 1 tbsp cilantro minced
- 1 tbsp scallion minced
In a small saucepan over high heat, bring broth up to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low to keep it there. Season to taste with sea salt.
While gently whisking the broth in a circular motion, slowwwwwly drizzle in the beaten egg, stirring in that circular motion the entire time.
Add spinach + avocado to a bowl, then pour broth over the top to wilt the spinach. Top with cilantro + scallion.
This is the recipe I use when I want to keep it super simple, but I love to play around with it too. Using this recipe as the base, experiment with different additions.
If you're craving Asian-inspired flavors, add: a tbsp tamari, a little splash of mirin, a tbsp miso paste + 2 tsp toasted sesame oil to the broth.
If you're craving a more Mediterranean vibe, omit the avocado, cilantro + scallion, then add: 1 tbsp freshly grated parmesan + a splash of fresh lemon juice to the broth, then top with minced Italian flat leaf parsley.
