Kimchi Egg Drop Soup

For this weeks blogging marathon I'm showcasing " Soups & Salads". Today I'm sharing a healthy soup made of egg whites. Check this Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#38.

Kimchi egg drop soup is packed with nutrients & proteins that we need on a daily basis. The soup tasted delicious with fermented juices of kimchi & the broken egg whites. I made it with left over cucumber kimchi I made few weeks back. You can replace this with a store bought or any home made kimchi.

3cups water
1Tbs tomato paste or 1 tomato pureed

1egg 

Few scallions & grated carrots for garnish

Directions

- Take a vessel with water & to that add kimchi.

- Along with that add tomato paste, chili powder, sugar & salt.

- Bring it to boil & cook for 15mins or till the veggies are done. Adjust the salt, spiciness & sugar if needed.

-Now separate the egg whites in to a bowl. whisk it with a spoon & add directly to soup. 

- The egg breaks & mingles with the soup. Cook for 5mins & switch off heat. 

- Garnish with spring onion, carrots & serve it as you like.  

Note: 

- Kimchi will have sufficient spiciness to it. If needed add extra or just omit adding it.

- You can add the whole egg instead of egg whites.

I served it with a egg white omelette & roti for lunch. It was filling & good.
