2 green onions, sliced
2 tbsp cilantro, optional

Directions:
1. Pour the chicken broth in a large pot and heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer.

2. Place the turmeric, ginger, garlic, chile pepper, mushrooms, chard stalks and Tamari sauce into the pot and simmer for about 5 minutes.

3. Then add the sliced chard leaves and cook for another minute. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and slowly pour them into the simmering soup.

4. Keep stirring until the eggs are cooked and take off the heat. Chop the cilantro and slice the green onions. Add them the pot.
