Tomato and Egg Drop Soup

This comforting and flavorful Tomato Egg Drop Soup with Hand-Torn Noodles is a delightful twist on classic comfort food. The recipe starts by creating tender, rustic flour lumps by mixing warm water into the dough, giving the soup a satisfying, homemade texture. A rich, tangy tomato broth is made by stir-frying scallions, ginger, fresh tomatoes, and ketchup until glossy, then simmered to perfection. The magic happens when the dough pieces are added, creating soft, chewy bites in every spoonful. Finishing with silky ribbons of beaten egg and a drizzle of fragrant sesame oil elevates the dish, while fresh cilantro and scallions add a bright, aromatic finish. Perfect for chilly days or when you crave a hearty yet simple meal, this soup balances sweet, savory, and umami flavors in every bite. Quick to prepare and packed with wholesome ingredients, it’s a bowl of warmth that feels like a hug!
