Step 1
Slice the 1 inch piece of ginger into thin rounds and chop the 3 green onions, separating white and green parts. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring the 4 cups chicken broth and ginger slices to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
Step 3
Add the 12 fish balls and 1 tablespoon soy sauce to the broth. Simmer until the fish balls are heated through and float to the surface, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 4
Season the soup with 0.5 teaspoon salt and 0.25 teaspoon white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 5
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the chopped green onion greens. Serve hot.
