Instructions
-
Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots, garlic, onion, and any optional ginger or chili. Sauté until fragrant and the onions become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
-
Season the Soup: Sprinkle in the salt, sugar, and pepper to taste, along with the optional mushroom or chicken broth for enhanced flavor. Stir well to combine all the spices with the sautéed ingredients.
-
Add Water: Pour in the 900 ml of water and add the galangal and lemongrass. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Cook the Eggs: Once the soup reaches a rolling boil, carefully add the eggs one by one. Let them simmer gently in the broth, allowing them to poach. Cook until the eggs are set to your liking, usually around 5-7 minutes.
-
Incorporate Coconut Milk: After the eggs are cooked, gently pour in the instant coconut milk. Be careful not to stir too vigorously at this stage to keep the eggs intact. Allow the soup to simmer for another few minutes to blend the flavors.
-
Final Touches: Once the soup is fully cooked and fragrant, taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. If you prefer a spicier kick, feel free to add more chili.
-
Serve and Garnish: Ladle the creamy egg soup into bowls, garnishing with freshly chopped green onions for a burst of color and flavor. Enjoy hot, perhaps with steamed rice or crusty bread on the side.
