This easy-to-make soup is perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner, offering a comforting dish that is both satisfying and healthy.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp soy sauce
33g
12 oz tofu
340g
8 cups vegetable broth
1920g
4 eggs
200g
1 cup onion
70g
4 cups spinach
120g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Dice the tofu into small, bite-sized cubes.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Roughly chop the fresh spinach.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and lightly beat them with a fork.
2. Cooking the Soup Base:
- In a large pot, add the vegetable broth and bring it to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and add the finely chopped onion. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes until the onions are softened.
3. Adding Tofu and Soy Sauce:
- Carefully add the cubed tofu to the pot.
- Stir in the soy sauce.
- Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Creating the Egg Drop:
- With the soup simmering gently, slowly pour the beaten eggs into the pot in a thin stream. Use a fork or a whisk to gently stir the soup in a circular motion to create the signature egg ribbons. If you prefer larger ribbons, stop stirring immediately after adding the eggs.
5. Adding Spinach:
- Add the chopped spinach to the pot and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until the spinach has wilted and turned a vibrant green.
6. Final Taste and Adjustments:
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce if needed or a pinch of salt and pepper to suit your taste.
7. Serving:
- Ladle the egg drop soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy this comforting and nutritious soup as a light meal or starter.

Tips:

- Make sure to drain and press the tofu well to remove excess moisture before adding it to the soup, ensuring it absorbs the flavors better.

- Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the simmering broth while stirring gently to create beautiful egg ribbons.

- Add the spinach towards the end of the cooking process to preserve its vibrant color and nutritional value.

- Season the soup with additional salt and pepper to taste, and consider adding a splash of sesame oil for extra depth of flavor.

- Serve the soup immediately while hot, garnished with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal.

With a few simple ingredients and straightforward steps, you can create a delicious and nourishing Egg Drop Soup with Tofu and Spinach.
