Tomato Egg Drop Soup with Prawns
Here is a simple egg drop soup that I made for my family lunch two days ago. It is a super easy recipe to make with only few ingredients needed and the soup can be ready in about 30 minutes. I really love this tasty soup (without adding any seasoning) that can even go with rice alone. Hope you enjoy this Tomato Egg Drop with Prawns as much as I do 🙂
