Cold Weather Soup

So today I went about to make egg drop soup. I didn't have any real protein in the house today to cook but had a can of chicken noodle soup and a ton of random ingredients. It turned out closer to Italian wedding soup, but still delicious.

• 1 can of chicken noodle soup from concentrate, the can with four 1/2 cup servings in it
• 1/2 cup leftover tomato bisque soup
• 1/2 a small white onion sliced
• 3 cloves of garlic chopped
• 4 eggs
• 1/4 cup frozen corn
• 8 oz. frozen peas
• 1 cup quinoa dried
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1/2 bottle of medium dark beer
• 6 red potatoes, baked (I do this in the microwave with the potato button after I poke them but most modern cookbooks give a good cooking time)
• 1 bag of Uncle Ben's microwavable brown rice
• 1/4 oz goat cheese

In a large pan, combine the chicken noodle soup with an equal amount of water and heat on high. Add leftover tomato bisque soup, onions and garlic.

Crack each egg into a small bowl. Stir gently try not to let too much air in. Then pour through a fork into the soup pan. Stir immediately.

Add quinoa, which can be hard to find try the bulk section of your store. The quinoa is worth it though as it is a source of complete proteins. Add thyme, oregano, peas, corn, and goat cheese.

Let cook until boiling. Add beer. Cook at a boil for 5 min stirring constantly. You want to cook off the alcohol.

Add the potatoes hot and chopped. Add the rice hot. Let boil for 5 more minutes and enjoy.
