Shitake Mushroom Tomato Egg drop soup

Making nutritious meals is easy and you can easily substitute ingredients.  For this recipe, I used Shitake mushrooms which may not be readily available where you live so, in a pinch, you could substitute canned mushrooms and slice them thinly.  But, note, that fresh is always best.
