This chinese style tomato soup is very simple to make with least ingredients and tastes great. Adding the eggs to the soup makes it even more tastier and healthier. If you are a vegetarian, you can very well avoid using the eggs and the soup still tastes great.
I Have taken the recipe from here and did some alterations to suit our taste. Also the original recipe used only water to cook the tomatoes, But I have added the chicken broth (chicken stock cubes) to make the soup more tastier. If you are a vegetarian, you can add veg broth or veg stock cubes.
Also you need to get good and tangy variety of tomatoes for this soup, because the taste of the soup mostly depends only on the tomatoes, in this recipe.

Step by step method to make the chinese style tomato soup with egg
In a pan, add olive oil.
When it is slightly hot, add the finely chopped gignger and garlic and saute them for about 2 min. Chopping them fine is preferred, so that you won’t get them as pieces while drinking soup.
To this add the finely chopped tomatoes.
Saute the tomatoes for 2 min again.
Now for 3 tomatoes, you can add about 3 to 4 cups of water. Here I have added 3 cups of water. If you want you can add the home made chicken or veg broth.
I have used store bought chicken cubes. Add the cube.
Allow the tomatoes to cook for about 6 to 8 mintes. You can cover and cook the tomatoes until they are very soft.
Prepare corn flour paste
While the tomatoes are cooking, prepare the corn flour paste. For that take 3 tsp of corn flour.
To this, add 1/2 cup water
and make a paste. This need to added to the soup and it thickens the tomato soup. Instead of corn flour you can also use any type of starch. Keep the mixture aside.
Now after about 6 minutes, open the lid and check if tomatoes are cooked nicely. They should be very soft by this time.
Add the finely chopped green chillies, salt and black pepper now and mix well. If you are giving to kids, then avoid green chillies and if you like spicy soups, then you can add 2 green chillis if you want a spicy tomato soup.
When the tomato soup is boiling, add the corn flour paste and boil for 5 min.
Adding eggs
Take 1 egg and beat it nicely. If you are a vegetarian, you can very well avoid this step and just procced.
Now add this egg when the soup is boiling and keep stirring them.
Again allow to boil for about 5 min. Add the spring onions or the coriander leaves.
Switch off the flame and serve the chinese style tomato soup in a bowl.
Tasty and yummy chinese style tomato soup with egg is ready.
Notes
- As mentioned, you can very well avoid addtion of eggs if you are vegetarian.
- The taste of the soup purely depends on the variety of tomato you are using. So try to get good quality and tangy tomatoes.
- If you want you can add 1 tsp of veggies like carrot, beans, corn etc. But not much.
- Adding veg/chicken broth (veg or chicken stock) to the soup, makes it more tasty.
