Warm, silky, and deeply savory, this egg drop soup comes together in under 15 minutes and tastes like something you'd order at a restaurant — except every ingredient here is working in your favor. Traditional soy sauce is swapped for coconut aminos, which delivers that same umami depth without the fermented soy that can be problematic when you're keeping yeast and fungal triggers in check. Fresh ginger adds a gentle heat and brightness to the chicken broth base, while a small tapioca starch slurry gives the soup that satisfying, slightly glossy body you'd expect from a classic version. The real magic happens when you pour the beaten eggs in a slow, thin stream into the simmering broth — they bloom into those gorgeous, delicate ribbons almost instantly. A finishing drizzle of toasted sesame oil and a scatter of scallion greens pull everything together with almost no effort. It serves four, so it works equally well as a light weeknight dinner or a restorative lunch when you need something nourishing and clean.

Coconut aminos is a common stand-in for soy sauce on a candida diet. It does carry a little sugar from coconut sap, but this recipe uses only about 1 1/2 teaspoons per serving, which is likely fine.







Combine the chicken broth and grated ginger in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a gentle boil, about 5–6 minutes.
Stir in the coconut aminos, white pepper, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning.
