Ingredients
- 1 liter tomato juice
- 1 leek, thinly sliced
- 1 and 1/3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded chicken
- 1 egg
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon sambal oelek
- 720 grams applesauce
Step 1: Prepare the Egg
Gather your ingredients first: 1 liter of tomato juice, 1 leek (thinly sliced and washed), 1 and 1/3 cups of chicken broth, a little over 1 cup of shredded chicken, 1 egg, 1.5 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of sambal oelek, and 720 grams of applesauce.
Next, crack the egg into a bowl and beat it with a fork until well mixed.
Step 2: Cook and Slice the Egg
Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add a little oil to coat the bottom.
Pour the beaten egg into the skillet and cook until fully set, flipping if necessary.
Remove from heat and let it cool.
Once cooled, roll the cooked egg and cut it into strips about 1 centimeter wide.
Step 3: Combine the Base Ingredients
In a large pot, combine the tomato juice, chicken broth, soy sauce, sambal oelek, applesauce, shredded chicken, and sugar.
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring gently.
Be careful not to allow the mixture to boil.
Step 4: Add Leeks and Egg Strips
Once the soup is warm, add the egg strips and the sliced leeks gradually, stirring to combine.
Allow the soup to heat through for a few minutes to ensure the leeks retain some crunch and the flavors meld together.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Ladle the hot soup into bowls, making sure each portion has a good mix of chicken, leeks, egg, and broth.
Serve immediately and enjoy your savory and warming soup!
