Recipe - veggie "chicken" soup

hello! how are you doing? 

i've seen quite some people on this website publishing some recipes, it inspired me so i'll share one of mine with you! 

for today's dinner i made "chicken" soup. but, well, i'm vegetarian and don't eat chicken, that's why i used eggs instead  

ingredients needed for 4 servings:

• 1 egg (or 2 eggs, if u prefer)
• water (600ml)
• thin sliced onions (2 tbsp)
• thin sliced/grated garlic (1 tsp)
• chopped green onions - to taste
• cooked rice (aprox. 300g)
• soy sauce (1 tsp)
• thin sliced/grated ginger (1 tsp)
• vegetables stock powder/cube (follow package instructions to dissolve correctly)
• salt - to taste (optional)
• olive oil (1 tsp)

instructions:

1. first, break the egg in a separate bowl or cup to beat it lightly with some salt (optional)
2. in a hot, big pan, add the olive oil and let it heat up a bit. then, add the onion and sauté until wilted. finally, add the garlic and ginger and sauté quickly until it smells amazing!! carefull to not let it burn.
3. add water and dissolve the vegetables stock powder/cube. let it simmer for 3 minutes over medium-low heat and then add the cooked rice and chopped green onions. after more 3 minutes, add soy sauce and mix it!
4. finally, pour the beaten egg in a slow circle motion. wait 20 seconds and then stir gently.
5. add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

note 1: you can skip the sautéing onion, ginger and garlic part, and start the recipe at step 2. it will make the soup less strong in smell and taste!

note 2: the ginger makes the soup feel a lot more comfier, in my opinion. perfect for cold and foggy days at home. the garlic and onion add a pinch of flavor, avoiding the soup to taste plain!

note 3: you can definitely add real meat and real chicken broth. for instance, the inspo i took (@daicook504 via TikTok) used 60g of imitation crab (for a little more protein) and chicken stock powder instead of the vegetables one. 

this is a really simple recipe for cold days, and perhaps when you're feeling sick! it's so easy - it use so little ingredients, and you can even give a purpose for the rice left in the fridge, lol

so, what do you think?
