Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil
  • 2 large tomatoes, halved and thinly sliced
  • 4 c low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 bunch scallions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 c shredded rotisserie chicken, skin removed
  • 4 c baby spinach
  • 1 1/2 c cooked rice

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Heat the peanut oil in a wok or large saucepan over high heat. Add the eggs and cook, undisturbed, until bubbles form or the surface and the bottom is set, about 1 min.

Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring gently to break up the eggs, until the tomatoes begin to soften, 2-3 mins. Add the chicken broth, 3 c water, scallions, sesame oil, soy sauce and 1 1/2 tsp salt. Partially cover and simmer 5 mins.

Stir in the chicken, spinach and rice and warm through. Season the soup with salt and pepper.
