For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth or add a small piece of ginger to the broth while simmering. Ensure the broth is not at a rolling boil when adding the egg; otherwise, the egg will cook too quickly and become rubbery. Adjust the amount of white pepper to your preference. If you prefer a thicker soup, add a bit more cornstarch mixed with water. For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth.
