Sep 18 Egg Drop Tomato Soup (Canh Trung Ca Chua)

Vietnamese, Dinner, Noodles & Soups, Quick & Easy, Vegetarian

This egg drop tomato soup is a novice-friendly treat that relies heavily on fridge and pantry staples. It's one of my go-to's on days when I'm in the mood for soup but don't have hours to simmer broth because it's super-speedy and insanely good. I like mine spicy so I add chili oil and lots of sambal at the end, but this soup is completely versatile so don't be afraid to experiment! Also, be sure to use good quality, ripened tomatoes to get the best flavor! We use our very own homegrown campari tomatoes.

Vietnamese, Dinner, Noodles & Soups, Quick & Easy, Poultry

There’s nothing quite like a nice hot bowl of wholesome chicken noodle soup. This chicken noodle soup has toothsome noodles, tender poached chicken, nutritious bok choy, fresh chopped scallions, and an aromatic broth that you can’t stop slurping. The soy sauce-based broth contains ginger, which is particularly good for colds. Poaching in broth also happens to be a great way to cook chicken and as far as this recipe is concerned, is guaranteed to give you moist, tender, chicken every time.

Dinner, Quick & Easy, Poultry

General Tso's Chicken is a popular Chinese takeout food choice that's made with fried chicken coated in a sweet and slightly spicy sauce. This classic crowd-pleaser was Chris's go-to dish for the longest time whenever we got Chinese takeout, so naturally, we had to try making it at home. Here's my version of the classic entree. It's not as hard as you'd think and it's so, so good!
