Granted this egg drop miso courgetti soup isn’t a looker, but it tastes wonderful. I used courgetti instead of noodles to make it healthier (and because I love them), but it would equally be as nice with real noodles to make it more filling.

It is a quick way to add protein to soup, which I usually find difficult to add into vegetarian soups. Blending a chicken is all well and good for the meat eater, but it doesn’t have quite the same taste or effect when using tofu…
