Method

  • Mix the water, consomme and bullion in a soup pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Add carrot, bell pepper, leeks, and parsley to the boiling broth, and continue to boil.
  • After 5 minutes, add vinegar, lime juice and soy sauce.
  • Continue to boil until carrots are tender.
  • Add tofu and garlic salt to soup, and bring back to a boil for 3 minutes or so.
  • Lower heat to medium, and drizzle egg whites into soup.
  • Simmer until egg whites are firm.

  • I had mine over a small quantity of whole wheat pasta, and that was pretty good.
