疙瘩汤是一道中国北方家常汤品，主要食材是面粉。
上世纪六七十年代以前出生在北方的人可能印象最深了。那时，很多人家为了省事和节约，晚餐常常喝这道既算汤菜又算主食的疙瘩汤。如今疙瘩汤已走上了大雅之堂——很多大饭店都有，而且颇受顾客欢迎。我们现在吃到的疙瘩汤比原来记忆中疙瘩汤多了很多配料，如鸡蛋、蘑菇，肉类，西红柿等，营养更丰富了，味道更鲜美了。

疙瘩汤里的汤可以是清水或排骨汤、鱼汤、骨头汤等。从饮食健康的角度而言，疙瘩汤更适合晚餐食用，因为面食类容易消化。

原料：
中筋面粉 110g
水 110g
鸡蛋黄 3个（或者全蛋1个）
西红柿1-2个
盐4g
食用油10g
胡椒粉2g
香油1g
葱末 少许

做法：

3个鸡蛋分离蛋清和蛋黄，我用蛋黄主要是为了好看。。如果用全蛋一个就够了。
鸡蛋打散备用.

西红柿洗净去皮，去皮的方法我是用开水烫一下，你可以扔进沸水锅里或者开水之间倒在西红柿的碗里。两种方法几秒钟就可以了。然后非常容易就剥下来了。
去掉蒂，切成小丁装盘备用。

面粉加盐，慢慢倒入清水，并用筷子搅拌。由于面粉吸水量不同，一定要慢慢加入，直到变成粘稠的糊状就可以了。
煮锅中烧热水，水沸腾后准备一个漏勺，把面糊慢慢倒在漏勺上，上面用勺子压一下，这样面糊就从漏勺里间断的流下来了，像水滴一样掉在煮锅里。
直到所有面糊流完，全部漂浮上来就熟了。

用漏勺捞出来放进冷水里冲洗一下，沥干水分备用。。这面疙瘩就做好啦！

下面做汤，我今天做的是番茄鸡蛋汤，你可以根据自己喜欢的蔬菜，蘑菇，海鲜来做汤。。
锅中烧热，加入食用油。

倒入番茄翻炒片刻，加入大约500ml的水或者高汤。烧开3分钟加入打散的鸡蛋液。慢慢转圈的倒入番茄汤中。等待几秒钟，关火。加入盐，胡椒粉，香油，倒入疙瘩大碗中。搅拌均匀撒上葱末，装盘即可食用。
