Quick Chicken Tomato Egg Drop Soup
Whether you’ve been working remotely, home-schooling quarantined children, or going stir-crazy yourself while you stare out the window wishing the incessant rain would end, sometimes you just don’t feel like cooking a whole bag of dried beans or ransacking the pantry for the ingredients for yet another “taste-tempting” casserole.
When that happens, give yourself a break! You can make this soup in half an hour, It’s also low-calorie and low-fat and it’s guaranteed to taste better than that can of condensed “cream of whatever, ” you’ve been eyeing. Instead, serve this quick and easy soup with crackers and fresh fruit for a light lunch, or as a first course in a more substantial meal. Then take a deep breath. Tomorrow is another day.
