Talking about soup, Chinese homemade soup is different to those soup I have seen in the western countries. 

As I have noticed in the West, the soup usually contains the mashed vegetables, such as the mashed potatoes or carrots. This kind of soup usually is very thick. Some soups may use cream or butter to make the soup creamy. 

But Chinese soup is not like that. Our soup is more liquid like, it has vegetables, which maybe chopped, but hardly being mashed. Of course we may add different ingredients and seasonings, but Chinese soup is not thick or sticky. It can be rich in flavour, but not creamy as using the cream. 

Chinese usually have the soup with the plain rice and several other meat or vegetables dishes. Therefore Chinese soup is not served as a separated course such as a starter in the West restaurants. For this reason, our soup needs to have more liquid as it is better to serve with the other solid food.       

Back to this egg tomato soup, it is a very simple or very basic soup, which does not need a complicated preparation.  That's why it is perfect when we want to have a quick meal.

Although this soup is so easy as a homemade dish, you cam find it in most local restaurants' menu too. The Chinese name for this dish is call 西红柿蛋汤，xi hong shi dan tang. 

Ingredients:

•  1 egg, beaten
•  1 big size tomato
•  rice noodle
•  Chinese black wood ears (optional)
•  oil, salt

Instead of egg, we use the fresh mushrooms and pickled vegetable such as mustard plant.
