Not a traditional recipe by any means, and I've probably posted something like this before, but here we go:

1. In a saucepan, combine a quart of chicken stock and a handful or two of dried shiitake mushrooms [or, better yet, fresh shiitake, or dried mushrooms which have at least been soaking in hot water for a while]
2. Bring it to a gentle boil, stirring slowly until the mushrooms soften
3. Add one minced shallot, the juice of one lime, a tablespoon of sriracha or other chili paste (adjusting for taste), and a dash or two of white wine vinegar
4. Add soy sauce to season to taste
5. Reduce to a gentle simmer. Scramble one egg in a bowl, and drizzle a thin ribbon of egg into the soup
6. Finely chop a green onion on the bias and add to the soup
7. Serve and enjoy
