Tomato and egg soup (Chinese: 番茄蛋汤) is a dish from China consisting mainly of tomato and egg.[1][2] It is a relatively easy soup to make, and as such is one of the most popular soups in households.[3]
This soup is also high in nutritional value, consisting of ingredients such as lycopene from the tomatoes, which can reduce the possibility of cancer.[4]
Normally, the soup is made from coarsely chopped tomatoes, and green onions chopped to pieces of about of 0.5 cm. A half a litre of water is used in this soup, and a small amount of oil. Eggs are added toward the end of this dish, and stirred in for only about 3 minutes. It is normally covered for 2 minutes, and then served when the egg has set.
This soup is also sometimes made with the tomato skin removed, and is sometimes cooked for a longer time.
