Using the Stovetop (best method):

Step 1: Pick the right stovetop pot.

• Use a high side pot that can handle stirring without spilling over the sides whenever possible. If the soup overflows, pour it into a larger vessel.

Step 2: Adjust the heat

• Reduce the heat to medium-low and bring to simmer. 

Step 3: Bring the stock to a simmer

• It’s a good idea to stir periodically while it simmers so the heat is distributed evenly. As you wait for this to heat up, you may whisk your eggs in another bowl if you plan to add fresh eggs (*this is optional* )

Step 4: Slowly stir in the eggs (optional)

• If your stock has already reached the simmering point, begin stirring it with a whisk or fork in a slow whirlpool motion. Drizzle the fresh eggs slowly into the broth while stirring, and you’ll see magical ribbons appear. Turn off the heat.

Step 5: Check the food temperature.

• Simmering happens between 180° and 190°F and is a gentler method than boiling. Smaller bubbles burst out of the water instead of violent ones. The trick to maintaining a simmer is to monitor it closely since, with heat increasing, boiling can occur very quickly.

Step 6: Remove soup from the heat

• After you have turned off the burner, take the pot off the stove; the metal will continue to be hot after turning off the heat. Immediately transfer the soup to a serving bowl and allow it to sit for a moment before serving. Sprinkle with extra green onions, if desired.

Using the Microwave to Reheat:

• Take out the soup from the fridge and pour it into a circular glass container that you can heat in a microwave, not one made of plastic. 
• Set the microwave at a medium power level (50%). This video will show you how to set the power in the microwave.
• Set the timer for 30 seconds and press “Start” to begin the microwaving. Following the initial heating, stir, then warm in 15-second increments, being careful not to overheat. A vital step is to stir your food. By stirring, you can avoid those undesirable cold spots.
• Check to ensure that enough heat is being imparted to the liquid. Continue microwaving for 15 more seconds if it is still cool or a bit warm. 
• After reaching your ideal temperature, you can remove it from the microwave, let it stand for a minute, and immediately serve once it’s cool enough to handle.
