With our sweet little flock of back yard hens, I’m always looking for ways to use eggs. So this month, I chose to make/create – Italian Egg Drop Soup, a recipe from All Our Way. I love Marisa’s recipes and this one is super simple. The first time I made it, a grocery list was prepared and all ingredients were one hand. I pretty much followed all the steps with one exception. She talks about blending spices along with salt and pepper. We really like Cavender’s Greek Seasoning, so I used that instead.
We * L O V E * this recipe! Handsome Husband and I both have erratic work schedules. It’s hard to say how long (or short) our day might be. This is a super quick, yet delicious, meal for those long tough days.
I’ve gotten pretty lax on the ingredients, using pretty much whatever I have on hand. For example, I don’t always have chicken stock. I just throw together a quick vegetable broth and keep going. It’s still a yummy soup! Here’s my recipe for vegetable broth. From there hop over to All Our Way for Marisa’s Italian Egg Drop Soup!
Stone Cottage Vegetable Broth
1 Large Onion
2-3 Cloves of Garlic
2-3 Carrots
2-3 Celery Stalks
3/4 cup white wine
6 cups water
Olive Oil
Using the larger screen on my chop wizard, I chop the onion and toss into a soup pot on medium high heat with a swirl of olive oil. Then I switch to the smaller screen to chop the garlic and carrots. Into the pot they go with a nice stir. Last, I switch back to the larger screen and chop the celery. When it goes in, I add the water and wine and lower the heat. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Easy, peasy, right?
