For perfect soft boiled eggs every time:

Heat water deep enough to submerge a couple of eggs in a saucepan until it is rapidly boiling.  Carefully lower the eggs one at a time with a large spoon.  Start the timer immediately for 4 minutes for 2 eggs.  Set the timer for 5 minutes for 3 or 4 eggs. 

Immediately drain the water and replace it with cool water.  Let the eggs soak for about half a minute. Drain and serve.
