I am not nearly so organized as she is, but she helped me make a healthy addition to my breakfast today. Last week I tried a new recipe, and it called for a variety of shredded veggies. I always try to follow exactly the first time I try a recipe, so I had a few bits of veggies thrown in a container, waiting for a salad. I had shredded and chopped just a little too much.Hubby does not want a salad right now. In the mornings I have been using chicken broth and poaching eggs. Sometimes turning it into a kind of egg drop soup, also. Today I took my dab of shredded carrots, diced celery, scallions, and a tiny bit of thin sliced radishes and cooked them in the broth. I added extra garlic powder. I have a chest and head cold and I bet this is just what the doctor ordered, plus it is one more thing out of the refrigerator.

I make an egg drop soup time by time, when it's cold it's very good to warm up.

It sure helps when you do not feel well, too.

@GardenGerty I make it for my husband because he feels cold all the time in winter. I am lucky, I had no colds or flu during the past 48 years.

@LadyDuck It has been a year since I have really been sick. I think when we are taking care of our sick family members sometimes we stay healthier, just to care for them.

My cold is lingering, but it will be okay. I am able to sleep and not cough and that helps.

The liquids and the savory nutritious veggies surely cannot hurt. I am going to rest tomorrow, Wednesday.

It certainly did not hurt. I feel better today than I did yesterday or the day before.

Chicken soup of a sort, I guess.
