One of the dishes that bring back my childhood memories is ‘Dropped Egg Clear Soup’. My family was poor, but my mother always prepared nutritious meals for my sisters and me. She often used Eggs, that must have been a great source of protein for her to cook. This is Miso Soup version of the soup. Today I added Baby Spinach because it was easy to use. I didn’t need to wash or chop up anything. Super quick and easy soup, but very comforting, and I needed freshly cooked Rice to enjoy it.
