We should do some preparation before cooking the tomato egg soup. First, we take out two eggs; for the quantity of egg, it depends on how many people are sharing the soup. Next, we add some oil and salt into the egg after break them and mix them well. Then we can start preparing the tomatoes. Slice every tomato into six pieces after wash them. We can begin to boil the water while we are preparing the tomatoes. Using medium fire to cook after the water is boiling and cook the tomatoes. We can see the color of water turns into slight red after a while; continue to cook for five to ten more minutes after that. We turn the fire to high and add the egg in it when the tomatoes become soft. Slightly stir the egg and we can turn off the fire when we see it floats on the top. Finally, the delicious tomato egg soup is done!
