How to Make Tomato Egg Flower Soup

  1. In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup frozen peas.
  2. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup cubed firm tofu, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until heated through.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Stir into the soup and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  4. Lightly beat 2 large eggs in a small bowl.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Slowly and steadily drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring the soup gently in one direction with a spoon.
  6. Continue to stir gently until the eggs form delicate ribbons.
  7. Remove from heat immediately.
  8. Stir in 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, and freshly ground black pepper to taste before serving.
