3 1/4 c. chicken broth + 3/4 c. divided
1/8 t. ground ginger
2 T. fresh, chopped chives
1/4 t. salt
1 1/2 T. cornstarch
4 eggs
1 egg yolk
Pour 3 1/4 c. chicken broth into a large saucepan. Add the salt, ginger and chives, stir and bring to a boil.
In a cup or small bowl, stir together the remaining 3/4 c. broth and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolk together, using a fork.
Drizzle egg a little at a time, from the fork into the boiling broth mixture. Egg should cook immediately.
When the eggs have been dropped, stir in the cornstarch mixture gradually, until the soup is the desired consistency.
