Tomato Egg Drop Soup~Simply Irresistible

Monday Night’s Soup Bowl was the Tomato Egg Drop Soup. I think it was a big hit and simply irresistible. This is a common soup in Vietnamese families, like what the  chicken soup is for Americans. It is very similar to the Chinese Egg Drop soup in that it has the ribbony chiffonlike eggs and nice…
