Ok, Here is the another easy soup using eggs. It is a continuation of my recipes from the good old days. It is good to know that some of you have tried the original omelette soup and like it. Here is another for you which is takes you skill a notch up.
This recipe is easy to make but a bit time-consuming. It is as simple as making a filled omelette, except that the omelette is rather small. So you have to repeat the process many times. I tend to make the omelettes smallish, but you can make it bigger to save time.
My family and I love this soup. We used to have this when we were young. I do occasionally make this, as I get distracted by all the recipes that I come across in cookbooks, magazine and online. My youngest sister recently reminded me of this dish when I posted the omelette soup. So I am now posting this delicious soup for her to try.
My sister-in-law cannot bother to cook this as she thinks it is just too much hassle and time-consuming. She said she would make a big omelette with meat in the middle and just cut it and make a soup out of it. This sounds logical, and I have yet to try it!
This soup has zero points, it is an easy and healthy soup. If you use stock / stock cubes or granules you need to point it. And as usual you can add in vegetables or noodles to make it a meal.
Here is the recipe:
