Eggland's Best eggs contain six times more Vitamin D compared to ordinary eggs, which helps strengthen immune cells so they can defend against harmful bacteria and viruses. They also contain more than double the omega-3s compared to ordinary eggs, which support immune defenses and reduce inflammation. Plus, they provide high-quality protein, which is the building block of antibodies and immune cells, making it essential for strong defenses.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Yield 4
Ingredients
* 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
* 3 cups chicken broth
* 1 cup coarsely grated sweet potato
* 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
* 1 cup shaved Brussels sprouts
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
* 6 cups chicken, cubed
* 4 Eggland's Best eggs, large
* 2 tablespoons cornstarch
* 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
* 2 cups chopped kale
Directions
* Heat the oil in a 2-quart soup pot over medium heat. Add the grated sweet potato, chopped onion and shaved Brussels sprouts and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Pour the broth into the pot, over sauteed vegetables and bring to simmer, about 4 minutes. While broth is coming to a simmer, put the eggs, cornstarch and half of the cheese (reserve remaining for upcoming step) in a medium bowl and whisk together. Scoop out 1 cup of the hot broth from the saucepan and add to the egg bowl, whisking until smooth. Slowly add the egg mixture to the soup in the saucepan, whisking constantly. Turn the heat down to low and continue cooking until the soup thickens, 4-6 minutes. Stir in the chopped kale and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted. Season with nutmeg. Serve in warm bowls with the additional cheese sprinkled on top. You can find more immune-supporting recipes to get you through flu season at EgglandsBest.com.
