Egg Drop Soup

3 Egg Whites
3 chicken boulion cubes
5 cups water
Fork

Put egg whites into cup, beat lightly with fork. Boil water and boulion for 5 minutes covered, then turn down heat until broth is standing (not frothing or bubbling). Add egg whites then quickly start stirring with fork. Keep stirring for 2-3 mins or until the eggs become clearly defined noodles. For a more concentrated noodle to broth ratio, decrease broth to 3 cups and 2 cubes. Don't stir with a wisk, the egg tends to wrap itself around the tines, and it's a bitch and a half to clean.

Technically the serving size is 2.5 cups, but at 60 calories per panfull, you may decide to eat a lot more of it.
