- You can also add more vegetables of your choice to make it healthier and more nutritious. Mushrooms taste very good in this recipe.
- If you want to add more heat, you can add some red chili flakes or chili oil.
- Gently swirl the beaten eggs into the soup. Don’t overdo as the eggs should form into nicely silky ribbons.
- Don’t overcook or the vegetables will get mushy.
Equipment I used for this recipe:
- I made this soup in stainless steel pot.
- This handy measuring cup has very easy to read measurement markings.
- This high-quality stainless-steel knife has a perfect cut, and long lasting blade sharpness.
- I used my big cutting board for all the cutting and chopping.
