BROTH?

MichelleM · 01-11-2010, 01:34 PM

I got some chicken and beef broth.

Im COLD! Now I wanna make some into soup.

Is it as easy as adding some spices and nuking it??

Pretty much that easy. Or you can make it into "egg drop soup" by stirring in an egg as it boils.

thanx poopsie. I just nuked some in a big mug with a bit of onion powder, garlic and cayenne. It was A OK!!

Hit the spot for sure in this weather.

I like to 'nuke' a minced clove or 2 of garlic in a big mug w/a little olive oil for 25 seconds or so. Then add my broth to the mug, nuke it til hot and add a big pinch of crushed red pepper, thyme and black pepper. If you want to amp up the nutrition, toss a handful of baby spinach in the mug for the final minute or so, and/or add a beaten raw egg to the hot broth, stir well. This is a speedy version of 'sopa de ajo' or garlic soup, best cold remedy I know.

Carl, I just made your sopa de ajo in a mug and it was really tasty! added a little cayenne pepper and salt, too.

I started off making this sopa de ajo on the stove, but nuking gets the job done and when I have a cold or something...cooking comfort food isn't as comforting as advertising might indicate.
(note - have some kleenex handy when you eat this - with enough garlic/spice in there it WILL clear your head for a while).

I like to add chopped green onion tops and parmesan cheese. Also like to make this into egg drop soup. A little soy sauce tastes good too.

yes, it was such a quick and easy lunch in a mug! i'll have to remember this next time I have a cold...

ohh soy sauce is a great idea. i added some salt but this might be a tastier alternative...

Try a couple of drops (maybe more) of Worcestershire sauce (VERY little) and it won't taste like Worcestershire, but gives depth to the broth.
