Bring chicken broth to a full rolling boil. In a measuring cup, beat eggs with the vegetable oil.(Note: The oil gives the eggs, the soft, fluffy texture. Eggs pour into the soup better from the measuring cup). SLOWLY pour beaten eggs in a THIN stream, circling around the pot so the egg is evenly distributed in a thin cloud. The eggs will cook instantly. Reduce heat once egg is cooked to low or off. The basic soup is ready to eat.

While chicken broth is coming to a boil, add optional spices, vegetables or noodles. If using frozen vegetables, allow broth time to return to full boil before adding eggs. If using uncooked noodles, cook for 10 minutes to fully cook noodles before adding eggs.
