There is something about cold days and soup that make me feel so warm and fuzzy. I have to admit that I am a soup lover. A lot of times when I eat, I feel I am one soup away from that perfect meal experience. There are quite a few soups that I like so, in this post, I’ll share with you one of my staple soups: Tomato Egg Drop Soup.

The ingredients are simple and super easy to find no matter where you are. It is quick to make, and it will give you that heart-warming feeling in the cold seasons. It goes very well with our Xianbing 馅饼 (Chinese Pork Pie) as well as our Beef Pie (牛肉饼) recipe. Try them together and you won’t be disappointed!

• Medium-sized tomatoes x 3

• Medium/large-sized eggs x 2

• Spring onion x 1

• Sugar 1/2 tsp

• Water 370g

Directions

• It is extremely simple to make this soup. All you need is 3 medium-sized tomatoes, 2 medium/large-sized eggs, and a small spring onion.
• Cut your tomatoes into small pieces. Finely chop the spring onion and set them aside for later use.
• Beat the eggs well in a container.
• Warm up a deep pan on high heat and add in ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil.
• Wait for the oil to heat up and add the chopped tomatoes.
• Let it cook for 1 minute, then add salt to your taste. Stir well, put the lid on and let it cook for roughly 3 minutes. Check your tomatoes as they should be soft and the juice should have all come out.
• Add 370g water, then put the lid back on, and let it boil.
• Let the soup boil for 1-2 minutes. Take the well mixed eggs and slowly pour them into the boiling soup. You should be able to see the egg mix kind of “blossom” in the boiling water.
