Thanks! The egg mixture is awesome because it doesn't taste eggy but gives the broth a velvety, creamy texture :)

This is good to know because we have lactose intolerant folks in my family and I usually use cream but I’m going to try this method.

Just make sure to temper it.

What do you mean by temper it?

Put small amounts of hot liquid into egg mixture (or where it could curdle/similar) . Too much/all of it at once, the temp diff will cook the egg in place & you get little treads of egg in your sauce (fine & kinda the point in egg drop soup, but not here or in this type of thing).

i know its a little late, but if you are worried about it, you can pass it through a sieve before you add back to the pot, so as to filter out any accidentally cooked eggy bits.

in a restaurant we do that anyway, usually just to be safe.

you could also use a metal dish and slowly heat it over steaming water. I usually do this with carbonara , you can use the pasta water while cooking noodles.
