  2. Remove pot off heat, with slotted spoon, remove eggs and drop in ice bath or cold running water immediately. Allow to sit in water for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Remove shells gently and move peeled eggs off to the side.
  4. In a sealable container, add all marinating ingredients in and ensure it is thoroughly mixed. Add eggs, seal container and refrigerate for 48 hours.

While water is still lightly boiling, quickly flash greens and corn. Remove, drain and leave off to the side.
  6. In a small pot, bring broth to a light simmer over medium heat. Once broth is simmering, add cold pre-cooked protein in to warm for 2-3 minutes.
