Egg Drop Soup with Spinach and Mushrooms

2

5 mins

A light, comforting Chinese-style soup with silky ribbons of egg swirled through a gingery broth with spinach, mushrooms and spring onion. It’s ready in 10 minutes and makes a perfect starter, or a light lunch on a chilly day. Eggs provide protein, and spinach and mushrooms add vitamins and fibre.

Ingredients
  • 700ml reduced-salt vegetable stock
  • 1cm piece of fresh ginger, thinly sliced
  • 100g mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp reduced-salt soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tsp cornflour
  • 100g spinach (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Pinch of white pepper
  • 2 spring onions, finely sliced

Instructions

1.

Bring the stock, ginger and mushrooms to the boil in the saucepan, then simmer for 3 minutes.

2.

Stir in the soy sauce. Mix the cornflour with 1 tbsp cold water, stir it into the soup and simmer until slightly thickened (1 minute).

3.

Add the spinach and cook until wilted (1 minute).

4.

Turn the heat down so the soup is barely simmering. Stir the soup in a circle, then slowly drizzle in the beaten eggs in a thin stream to form silky ribbons. Turn off the heat.

5.

Season with white pepper, scatter with spring onions and serve.
