Tofu and Mushroom Soup
In my family, we love tofu and mushroom to death, so there are probably a never ending of favorite recipes that get reworked over and over and sometimes it evolves into something new like this. This soup looks like an egg drop soup, but there is actually no egg in this soup. The “egg” is made from shaved silken tofu, definitely healthier then regular egg drop soup. Maybe you can try serving this and see how many people actually managed to guess that they are eating tofu instead of egg. ♥
