Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), and salt and pepper to taste.
Add the chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to wilt.
Reduce the heat to low. Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the simmering broth, stirring gently with a fork or whisk to create the egg ribbons.
Stir in the heavy cream and return the cooked chicken to the pot. Continue to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the soup to thicken and the flavors to combine.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or green onions if desired.

Notes

If you prefer a thicker soup, add more heavy cream or blend a portion of the soup for a creamier texture.
For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk or almond milk.
If you want to add more vegetables, you can use mushrooms, zucchini, or cauliflower.
For more flavor, consider adding a dash of fish sauce or lemon juice to the broth.
