Savory Chinese Tomato and Egg Soup

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Chinese Tomato and Egg Soup.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the quartered tomatoes. Sauté them for about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to melt into a delicious sauce.

2. Step 2

   Next, pour in 2 cups of water, bringing the mixture to a lively boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently. This is where the flavors meld beautifully, so let it cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep everything well combined.

3. Step 3

   Now, it’s time to add the eggs. Crack them into a bowl and whisk them lightly before pouring them into the pot. Stir slowly and constantly for about a minute, allowing the eggs to create lovely ribbons in the soup.

4. Step 4

   After the eggs are incorporated, sprinkle in the minced green onion and let it cook for an additional 30 seconds. This adds a fresh crunch and vibrant color to your soup.

5. Step 5

   Finally, stir in a drizzle of sesame oil for that nutty flavor, along with a pinch of sugar and salt to taste. Give it a good stir and taste to adjust the seasoning as needed. Your soup is now ready to warm your soul!
