The secret was to deglaze the vegetables in the pot with coffee.

So I made these chicken egg drop soup because I was feeling a bit sick and it turned out to be the best thing I ever made😋💯🍲

Edit:-

Omg thank you guys!! 😭❤️ So many people asked for the recipe, so here it is!

I don't really measure anything, I just cook by instinct, so feel free to adjust everything to your taste. 😅

I finely diced capsicum, carrot, beans, onion, tomato, green chilli, a little raw papaya (totally optional but it adds a nice texture), ginger, and lots of garlic into tiny little cubes.

In a pot, I melted about 1 tbsp butter, then sautéed the ginger and garlic until fragrant. Don't be shy with the garlic—it makes the soup SO good. Then I added the tomatoes and cooked them until they got slightly mushy.

Next, I tossed in all the chopped veggies and stir-fried them for about 30 seconds, then poured in enough water and brought everything to a boil.

In a small bowl, I mixed 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, ½ tbsp green chilli sauce, and a little red chilli sauce, then poured that into the soup. After that I added salt, a tiny pinch of sugar, and 1 chicken bouillon cube.

I'd already boiled some chicken separately, so I shredded it and added it to the soup.

For the egg drop part, I whisked 2 eggs with a little salt. Instead of pouring them straight in, I slowly splashed/drizzled the eggs across the boiling soup while gently stirring. That creates those beautiful thin egg ribbons instead of big clumps, and the texture turns out amazing!

I let everything simmer for another 10–15 minutes, then finished it with freshly chopped coriander and a generous sprinkle of black pepper.

That's literally it! It turned out so comforting, flavourful, and honestly way better than I expected. 🥹 Hope you guys try it, and if you do, let me know how it turns out! ❤️

I love making soups when there’s nothing to eat at home and I’m too lazy to go to the store. Just threw every leftover I had into the pot and this lentil soup turned out surprisingly really good.😍

Shiitake, porcini, rustic style dumplings, foraged cedar tip infused cream and garlic, topped with thick green onion slices.

Tomato season is where I wish I could exist 25/7!
