Danhuatang is a traditional Chinese soup whose main ingredients are broth and egg. A beaten egg is whisked into the hot chicken broth, forming fine flakes. Grated ginger and a little soy sauce add flavor, while cornstarch thickens it deliciously and makes it more filling. Chinese egg soup is served with chopped green onions. It's a wonderful warming dish and is ideal for colds, illnesses, and weakened bodies.
