Reduce heat to low, while stirring the soup constantly, slowly add eggs and then cook for 2 minutes or till cooked egg appears on surface of soup like feathery strands.

Savita's Notes:
You can replace semolina paste with whole wheat pasta and replace chicken broth with vegetable broth to it make even more light and healthy.
