【Tianjin】Tomato and Egg Pimple Soup
Overview
Pimple soup comes from the north and is now available in both the north and the south. Speaking of pimple soup, people who were born in the north before the 1960s and 1970s may have the deepest impression. At that time, in order to save trouble and save money, many people often drank this soup, which was both a soup and a staple food, for dinner. Nowadays, pimple soup has become a popular dish - many big restaurants have it, and it is very popular with customers. Legend has it that a long time ago, an old woman went to visit her daughter who was married in a foreign country. When it was time to cook at noon, the daughter was in trouble. It was supposed that when the mother came, she should cook something delicious to honor her mother, but the mother came suddenly and left in a hurry. She had to go back after eating. Firstly, she had no time to prepare, and secondly, the life of her husband's family was also tight. What could I do? The daughter had an idea and had a solution. She put the only white flour at home into a bowl, added a little water, stirred it into small lumps with chopsticks and put it into the pot. She also searched for some potatoes, radishes, eggs, green onions, coriander, etc. and put them into the pot. After cooking, she cooked a spoonful of oil and added salt and other condiments to make a pot of soup and rice that was neither thick nor thin and fragrant. The mother asked her daughter what the meal was called, and the daughter said it was a meal I learned to make after coming to my husband's house, and it was called pimple soup. Since then, this economical, fast and convenient delicacy has spread to thousands of households. The nutritional value of pimple soup is that the flour contains a large amount of vitamin B. In an acidic environment, vitamin B is relatively stable, but when alkali is added to make pasta, this stability will be destroyed. When noodles are cooked, a large amount of nutrients will be lost into the noodle soup, and when dumplings are cooked, some nutrients will also be lost. The pimple soup can preserve a variety of nutrients in the flour in the soup, which can well avoid the loss of nutrients in the pasta. The so-called original soup into original food also fully illustrates this point. The pimple soup we eat now has many more ingredients than the original pimple soup in our memory, such as eggs, mushrooms, meat (chicken, shrimp, squid, shellfish), rape, tomatoes, etc. It is richer in nutrients and more delicious. My family’s favorite food is tomato and egg dumpling soup. Growing up, my mother has been making this classic delicacy and can’t get enough of it. It is sour, sweet, and extremely warm. The reason why mom's taste is delicious is not only because it tastes delicious, but also because it is full of deep family affection and full of love.
