Birds Nest Soup
Swiftlet Bird Soup

I made this as a copy-cat recipe for
a soup made using the Swift birds nest.
I use gelatin and corn starch to get the
correct texture and add some hard boiled
Bantam eggs to a silky chicken broth.
This is eye apealing and good tasting!

Ingredients:
2 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon plain gelatin
1/2 teaspoon corn starch
2 egg whites
2 Bantam eggs, hard boiled
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1 teaspoon confectioners sugar
chives for garnish

Directions:
In a soup pot bring chicken stock to a boil.
Add in shredded carrot.
In a bowl combine corn starch, sugar and gelatin
with a little cold water and add to stock.
Reduce heat to a simmer.
Drizzle in egg whites, stirring soup.
Serve with Bantam eggs cut in half
and some green chives on top.
