Simple Tomato Egg Drop Soup

Tomato soup is easy to make and good for any season of the year. It's delicious and nutritious. This is a typical Cantonese version family recipe . Every family make it a little bit different, but the main ingredients are always tomatoes and eggs.  The tastes are similar as well and below is my family's version.

Ingredients: tomatoes, scallions, ginger, eggs, sugar, salt

Directions:
1. Cut the tomatoes, scallion and ginger into pieces
2. Heat up the pan with a teaspoon of vegetable oil
3. Add in gingers and stir fried for a while until it smell good
4. Add in tomato slices and stir fried for about a minute or two
5. Pour in a cup of water or two depending the amount of tomatoes you have
6.When it's boiled, put in appropriate amount of sugar and salt ( the taste is suppose to be sweet and sour,  and brings out the flavors of tomatoes)
7. Add in scallions (optional)
8. Add in an egg and stir a little
9. Ready to serve ( you can eat it alone or eat it with rice as a vegetable dish)
