Add 5 cups of the broth and, if desired, the cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat. Slowly pour the lightly beaten eggs into the soup in a steady stream while gently stirring to create strands (faster stirring will create thin strands, while slower stirring will create thicker strands). Heat just to boiling. In a small bowl whisk together the remaining 1 cup broth and the cornstarch. Add to soup. Cook and stir just until thickened. Top servings with additional green onions and, if desired, crushed red pepper and fried wonton strips. Tip You will want to stream the eggs into the soup while it is simmering but not boiling, If the soup is boiling, the egg strands become foamy. Fried Wonton Strips To make fried wonton strips, cut 3 refrigerated wonton wraps into strips. Heat about 1/4 cup peanut or vegetable oil over medium heat until hot. Cook strips in hot oil in batches, turning as necessary for about 1 minute or until golden brown. Remove from the oil with tongs; drain on paper towels.
