Description

Tomato Egg Drop Soup is a variation of basic Egg Drop Soup which is equally popular in Chinese, American Chinese, Japanese and even in European cuisine where beaten egg is boiled with some spices in Chicken Stock or Broth. Adding Tomatoes to the Egg Drop soup increases the flavour given tomatoes add a certain level of acidity and bright colour to the soup.


Ingredients

  • Egg: 4
  • Chicken Stock: 750ml + 100ml
  • Tomato: 3 (Medium Size)
  • Tomato Ketchup: 3 Tbsp.
  • Onion: 1 (Big Size)
  • Garlic: 7-8 Clove
  • Green Chilies: 2-3 (optional; can be adjusted according to taste)
  • Vinegar: 1 Tbsp.
  • Black Pepper Powder: 2 Tsp.
  • Salt: 2 Tsp.
  • Cornflour: 1 Tbsp.
  • Olive Oil: 1 Tbsp. (can be replaced with Vegetable Oil)


Instructions

  1. Chop Onion and Tomatoes into small pieces.
  2. Heat Oil in a deep bottomed pan and add Chopped Onion and start cooking in low flame till onion turned pink in colour.
  3. Add chopped Tomatoes and cook in medium flame for 2-3 minutes and using a spatula start mixing the tomatoes.
  4. Add chopped garlic and tomato ketchup to the mixture and cook in medium flame for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add Fresh Chicken Stock when tomatoes start melting*.
  6. Add Salt and Crushed Black Pepper in this Point and continue cooking in medium flame by covering the pan for 7-8 minutes.
  7. Adjust spices if required and add vinegar to the soup.
  8. After around 7-8 minutes of cooking the soup will get a semi thick consistency and in this point lower the flame.
  9. Mix Cornflour with 100 ml Chicken Stock and mix it with the soup to get thicker consistency**.
  10. Now beat all the eggs using a fork in a bowl after adding little salt and start pouring the mixture directly in soup and stir continuously using a wooden spatula to break hardened egg into small threads or Drops.
  11. Switch the flame off and Serve Tomato Egg Drop Soup after adding thinly chopped Green chilies hot.

Notes

*Substitute Chicken Stock with Vegetable Stock or normal Water.

**For a thinner Soup don’t add Cornflour to the Soup.
