A tasty and comforting tomato soup made even better with poached eggs. This dish is great for a warm meal on a cold day.
Ingredients: 4 large eggs. 4 cups of tomato soup. 1/2 cup of heavy cream. 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh basil leaves for garnish.
Instructions: In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the tomato soup over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, and continue to heat while stirring until the cheese is melted and the soup is well combined. Season the tomato soup with salt and pepper to taste. Keep it warm on low heat while you poach the eggs. Fill a large, shallow pan with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of white vinegar to the simmering water. Carefully crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin, being careful not to break the yolks. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water by stirring it with a spoon, and then carefully slide each egg into the center of the whirlpool. This will help the egg whites wrap around the yolks as they poach. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer for a firmer yolk. Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached eggs from the water and drain excess water by placing them on a paper towel. Ladle the hot tomato soup into serving bowls and gently place a poached egg on top of each bowl. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and sprinkle some additional Parmesan cheese on top if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Tomato Soup with Poached Eggs!
