This is one of my favourite chinese dishes! Can't wait to try it at home, just discovered your blog and it's amazing, congratulations for your great job! My dad was a doctor, he studied a master's degree in acupuncture and he made a 1 month internship in a hospital in Beijing to practice acupuncture. My mum, brother, aunts, uncles and cousins accompanied him and we were so lucky to live in your amazing country for one month and discover how delicious Chinese food is. That was in 2007 and I have been since then looking for recipes in english (tried to learn Mandarin for one year but it's sooo difficult). And then I find this website n_n with all my favourite recipes in it!

Warm greetings from Málaga (Spain), and thank you for you wonderful work!

In reply to Ace. Thanks Ace. It need only very basic and simple ingredients but super delicious as long as the tomatoes are mature enough. Happy cooking, I hope you will like other recipes on the site.

Made this with water (i follow a low sodium diet), this was absolutely amazing. I had my doubts, but I was so wrong. This is my new quick snack / dinner option.

In reply to Susan. Susan, If you get light chicken stock, you can use only chicken stock and no water. So it should be 4 cups too.

Hi Elaine,

I think that's a common misconception about soups when coming from "western" style cooking. I fell into that trap, too and at first thought "Why are the soups so bland?". A countryman of yours explained this quite well (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5NVhZu5Jzk sorry, it's in German) . In my opinion, he puts it very well down in the sentence: "A soup is not for eating, but for drinking." Continuing he mentions, that soup in China has more the role of a beverage in a meal,, like water, juice, beer or wine would have in a western style meal. That's maybe something, that you might want to emphasize a little bit more, too.
