Step 1
In a pot, bring 4 cups chicken broth to a boil over high heat. Add 1 lb chicken breast and 2 cups mixed vegetables. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Remove chicken to a cutting board and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the pot.
Step 3
Stir in 2 cups fresh greens and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4
Crack 2 eggs into the simmering soup, one at a time, and cook until whites are set but yolks are still soft, about 3 minutes. Serve hot.
