Ground Beef and Cilantro Soup

2 cups of ground beef, deer, elk or turkey
6 cups of chicken stock
3 eggs whites or 2 scrambled up eggs
1 tsp of salt (I use sea salt)
1/2 tsp white pepper or black
1 tbsp Fresh Ginger root
1 tbsp finely chopped scallion (green onion)
One bunch of cilantro chopped up finely

Marinade
1tsp of salt
1tsp sugar
1tsp rice vinegar
1tsp soy sauce

combine all ingredients for the marinade in a bowl and marinate the beef for 20 minutes. then cook beef in a pan drain off any fat and I mix the marinate again and add to the cooked beef. You can opt to not add the marinade before cooking and then add after its cooked.

bring the stock to a boil. Add beef, stirring to break up any clumps, and let simmer for 10 minutes. I then add your ginger to this mix. I get some fresh root and then peel off hte skin of the ginger root and then cut it up very fine.

slowly add the eggs to the mix as its at a low boiling temp, stirring rapidly so that they form into shreds. Kind of like in egg flower soup.

Then I add the cilantro and the green onions. And let it cook on a medium heat for like 10 minutes and then its done. You will notice the broth turn clear.

I now add two big cans of chicken broth the big cans and about a 1lb of ground meat 2 bunches of cilantro and sometimes 2 onions. And Im very generous with the ginger too. We just love a bunch of this soup.

So ENJOY !!!
