Adolf, get your snout out of my lunch!
Hi Natty! how are today, my love? I hope all is well with you, and you are having a great time. After a few delays caused by chores, I finally got around to making my egg drop soup for lunch. I had about 200 grams of black mushrooms, which I bought yesterday. Black mushrooms have a texture of a very firm gelatin, but tastes like mushrooms.
I put aside half to slice up and put in the soup, and the other half to turn into broth. It's simple: I blended the mushrooms (after washing them, of course) in drinking water until smooth. Thus my broth was already nice and thick, I didn't even need any starch. Just some MSG, and I got a great mushroom broth. My soup turned out extra thick, but not overwhelming. If not for the egg, it would have been a vegetarian meal. Here's a snapshot of it below, without Adolf Kitler doing a photobomb. I sprinkled some salted radish and dried onions on top.
