Welcome

I am constantly amazed at how animated and talkative people get when you mention food. The mere aroma of certain foods can evoke memories that transport us back to a special place and time. Food can bridge the gap between all ages, races and ethnicities.
Let's face it, the only thing that should ever come between people is a table and some serving bowls.

Italian Penicillan

I have eaten very little since I came down with this thing, it wasn’t bad the first few days but by day three my stomach rumblings were beginning to scare those around me. I really don’t have much of an appetite but I know that you can never go wrong with soup. I was just going to do plain old egg drop soup but decided to kick it up a bit and make it Italian style. Let’s hope it helps, I am still feeling pretty lousy.

Italian Egg Drop Soup

1 qt. rich chicken stock
2 eggs
1/4 c. freshly shredded Romano or Parmesan cheese

I always like greens in mine so I always add a couple good handfuls of kale, spinach or escarole to the broth.

Heat broth to boiling, beat eggs and cheese together, pour mixture into boiling broth and remove pan from heat; do not stir

Get better, dag nabbit!

You might try a bit of lemon juice in there too. Mmm... lemon and egg.

I hope you're feeling better too!

This soup looks divine.

Often I make chicken noodle soup with just chicken stock and 2 minute noodles. I've tried making an Asian-style egg drop soup but it didnt work very well.. I don't think the water was hot enough.

I like your idea of the cheese and the egg though, and the spinach. YUM! I am definitely going to try this out next time I'm in the mood for soup (which is often :P)

Hope you get well soon :)

Egg drop soup can be difficult to make Ash, you want to get those ribbons of egg just right.

Are you feeling any better? This soup brings back memories! I like escarole in mine.

Thanks Chris, I am feeling much better still coughing a bit but nothing like it was.
