Put the egg before the water boils. When it gets to the boiling point count for 7 minutes and take the egg out. I love soft boiled eggs too.

I think you put the egg in the water and turn up the heat to get the water boiling but as soon as the water starts boiling turn it off and leave the egg in the water for just a little bit longer like maybe 1-2 minutes. I *think* that's pretty much how you do it.
