Egg Drop Soup

I have been on this wonderful diet that keeps me watching my carb intake.  I have always loved this soup and when I found that I can not only have it but make it easily too, suffice to say I was elated!  It is quick, cheap and easy to make; what's more to love?  I hope you enjoy it too.

4 cups chicken broth (you can use canned but chicken stock is better)

1/4 cup of green onions, chopped into little green rings

1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce (less sodium Soy Sauce can be used. I actually pour this to taste)

2 eggs, lightly beaten

Combine chicken broth/stock, green onions and soy sauce into pot.  Heat to a boil and as it comes to a boil, slowly stir in the lightly beaten eggs.  Turn off heat and serve.  YUM!

Please note: Regarding the Soy Sauce, remember the more you pour in, the carbs will increase (if you are watching them).

Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Souperbowl

I am going to visit with my friend Alan for the Superbowl. To say that this guy is a big eater and appreciator of good food is like saying Dan Marino, Johnny Unitas and Joe Montana could handle the ball well. Bless him, he loves my cooking...overdone, underdone, well done, whatever and it's pure joy watching him eat. It's a whole new science with him. Though I'm going to be away from home, we needed a hearty, totally wonderful meal to go with the cold weather and football (that can also travel). Enter the Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup. My sister and I made this for my Mom's birthday before Christmas and it was a big hit. It's both easy and forgiving to make and guys love it (well, my brother-in-law anyway).

As I am prone to changing recipes, I'll include the ones I made here, but you can link the original recipe through my sister's blog, Make It Bake It Buy It Fake It (above).
