An Easy Zucchini and Egg Soup Recipe
I often use the broth I make for noodles to have with rice when I’m short on time, and I was surprised by how delicious it was! This recipe for a clear and refreshing zucchini and egg soup is perfect for those busy days or when you want a quick, comforting meal. It makes for a satisfying bowl.
Main Ingredients- 1/2 medium zucchini
- 2-3 large eggs
- 1 stalk green onion
- A few heads of bok choy (optional, to taste)
Seasonings- 1 Tbsp soy sauce for soup (guk-ganjang)
- 1 pinch roasted salt
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp beef broth powder (or anchovy broth powder)
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce for soup (guk-ganjang)
- 1 pinch roasted salt
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp beef broth powder (or anchovy broth powder)
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by bringing water to a boil in a pot. Once boiling, add the beef broth powder (or anchovy broth powder) to create a flavorful broth base. Using anchovy broth powder is also a great option.
Step 2
Slice the zucchini into half-moons or lengthwise. Chop the green onion diagonally. Wash the bok choy thoroughly.
Step 3
To prevent the zucchini from breaking down too much while cooking, slice it to about 0.5cm thickness. Chop the green onion on a bias to add a pleasant aroma.
Step 4
In a bowl, crack the eggs. Add a pinch of roasted salt and a bit of black pepper. Whisk gently with chopsticks until combined. Removing the chalaza (the white stringy bits) will result in a smoother egg mixture.
Step 5
Trim the base of the bok choy and separate the leaves. Wash them individually under running water. Fresh bok choy adds a refreshing taste to the soup.
Step 6
Once the broth comes to a rolling boil, add the sliced zucchini, green onion, and bok choy.
Step 7
Simmer over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes, or until the zucchini turns a translucent yellow. Reduce the heat to low. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface with a ladle for a clearer soup. Let it simmer gently on low heat for another 3 minutes to complete your delicious zucchini and egg soup! Adjust seasoning with soy sauce for soup or salt to your preference.
