Once the soup is boiling, turn the heat down to low and wait until the soup stops boiling. Use a large wooden spoon to stir the pot and make the broth swirl in one direction. While the soup is swirling, slowly pour the whisked eggs into the soup in a thin stream.** Let the eggs sit in the hot liquid, undisturbed, for ⏱️ 1-2 minutes to fully set.
