This Thai Pork, Noodle & Egg Soup Recipe is one of my favorite simple soup recipes.  It is the perfect mix of comfort and heat while being incredibly simple to make.

Years ago, this was the first recipe I ever posted on my website.  Each time I make it, I try something new to improve it.

This time, I tweaked the recipe and tried something I had never done in any soup recipe; I added eggs.  I enjoyed making this again and it was interesting to see how I have improved as a cook in the past two years.

Thai Pork, Noodle & Egg Soup Recipe

Ingredients

2 Tbsps Canola oil

3 Scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated

4 Garlic Cloves, chopped

1 Tbsp Fresh Ginger, ground or chopped

1lb Ground Pork

4 cups Low-Sodium ChickenBroth

1 Tbsp Soy Sauce (or fish sauce if you prefer)

4oz Wonton wrappers, sliced into 1/2-inch strips or desired thickness

2 Eggs

2 Tbsps Fresh Lime Juice, plus lime wedges for serving

Red Chili Pepper Flakes

Water

Cilantro leaves

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant.  Add the pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with  ½ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes more.

Add the broth, soy sauce, lime juice, and 2 cups water to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the wonton wrappers and red chili flakes; reduce the heat.  Simmer until tender, 1 to 2 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk together two eggs until they are entirely mixed and a bit frothy. Start stirring the soup in a clockwise motion and slowly pour in the eggs in the same clockwise motion, stirring/whisking constantly.  The eggs will cook quickly and you should be able to see strips of the egg whites.  You will notice a change of color in the broth- it will be a bit thicker and more yellow than before.  Remove from heat and cover for a few minutes.

Serve while still hot with the scallion greens, chili peppers, cilantro, and lime wedges.

Be sure to squeeze the lime wedges on top of the soup- the taste that it adds is amazing.

You can add numerous ingredients to add texture- chili peppers, jalapeno peppers, shiitake mushrooms, the options are endless.
