Thai Omelette Soup

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Do you have a favorite soup recipe to soothe you when you’re down with a cold or a flu? Me? I find that this easy Thai omelette soup helps me with congestion and is perfect for when I’m ill and not wanting anything heavy. If you’re not Thai, you might not have heard about this soup because it’s so simple that not many Thai restaurants offer it on their menus. In Thailand, you can get it at most “dtam sang” (food cooked to order) places. But since it’s so easy to make and calls for basic ingredients, you might as well cook it yourself (even when you’re sick). This way you can be sure that there’s no MSG in your soup!

This soup is a clear soup that’s packed full with protein and fiber. Although it’s definitely great for your body when you’re trying to recover from something, the soup is great for any day and you don’t have to be sick to eat it!

If you look at the ingredient list below, it might look like you need so many there. Well, this recipe is for the best version of the soup. But of course, I totally understand that when you’re sick or just lazy, you can’t be bothered to get all of the ingredients listed. Well, the good news is you don’t need to. This recipe can definitely be simplified. You just want to make sure that you have some garlic, white peppercorns, and a cilantro root to give the broth some flavors. Oh, and the eggs, too! Then just season the soup with salt as you would with a full recipe. If you happen to have cabbage or carrot, do add either or both because they will give your soup some sweetness and add fiber to the meal. Even better, enjoy it with my Thai pork fried rice!

For those of you following a vegetarian diet that allows eggs or the keto diet, this soup will be great for you as well. You can omit the pork and just go with the eggs. From my experience, the soup tastes pretty much the same without the pork.

Happy cooking!

    A friend of mine from Thailand made me a vegetarian version of something similar years ago and I loved the simplicity of it. I honestly did not follow the recipe much except for the omelette instructions but it was an excellent guide My guess is that many variations of this would be delicious. The main ingredients i used in the soup itself were Japanese sweet potatoes (much less sweet than orange sweet potatoes), grape tomatoes, a carrot, and asparagus. And fresh basil, parsley and scallions. Added a little soy sauce and toasted sesame seed oil to the broth.Thanks for the inspiration!
