I had my wisdom teeth removed many years back. I had 2 sessions of 2 teeth at a time, one under local and the other under conscious sedation. After both the events, the only food I ate for 5 to 7 days was some kind of soup. Brothy soups, thinned out Dal soups, pasta soups, pureed soups. By the end of the week I would be bugged with them and didn’t touch another soup for the whole month.
Anywho, one of the soups that kept me satiated was egg drop soup. Vegan versions of the soup work out well with chopped up tofu, but the texture is not entirely there. I had some jackfruit leftover the other day while testing another recipe, and decided to give that a go. I shredded it in a processor and simmered it in the broth. The slightly chewy and stringy texture worked out amazingly in the soup. Thankfully, I have no more wisdom teeth to be removed, but hey there are always other dental issues, or just days when you want a bowl of hot brothy soup. Make this v-egg drop and let me know how it worked out for you!
This egg drop soup has shredded Jackfruit and tofu for the egg. Kala namak adds the eggy flavor. This soup gets tastier as it sits. A perfect fall comfort bowl to make again and again. Adjust the seasoning to your preference. Add shredded veggies or some corn to make it into a light dinner.
