Bone broth breakfast!!!

[lil_earthmomma]

I had dental surgery three days ago, and can't chew for 7 days.

I am so excited though, because I have been making all sorts of nourishing soups and for breakfast, bringing them to a boil and poaching eggs in them. I like soft poached eggs, and I love soup, and this combination is heaven for breakfast!!! Great way to get more bone broth into everyone too!

So far I've tried it with a spicy tomato basil bisque, and french onion soup. Mmmmmmmmmmm... tonight I'm going to make mushroom soup, so tomorrow's breakfast will be mushroom soup with poached eggs!

Creamy chicken soup is great. I saute some onion/garlic/ginger, and if you lilke some spices, curry or equal pinches cumin, coriander, cinnamon in some coconut oil, then add some chicken broth and coconut milk and puree. It's great just on it's own or with some veggie/chicken chunks simmered.

Actually, that makes me realize i need to make some of this. With the kids having an added day of gymnastics i need something to take along that is nourishing for afterward, to fend off their hunger until dinner

Sounds delicious lisamarie! I cannot wait till I can eat chunks of anything again!!!

I just thought others might be inspired by a new (to me) way of getting eggs and bone broth in for breakfast!

My usual breakfast soup is Greek avgolemono soup. It is easy, fast, and GOOD! If you love lemon you should definitely try this.

2 cups chicken broth
2 eggs
juice of one lemon
salt to taste
pepper to taste
2 Tbsp uncooked arborio rice or orzo (optional)

1. Place broth in a saucepan. If using rice or orzo add it now. Bring broth to a boil. If not using rice/orzo: skip to step two.
If using rice/orzo reduce the heat and simmer about 12 minutes, until rice/orzo is tender but not mushy.

2. Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl until frothy, and add 1/2 of the lemon juice.

3. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Slowly drizzle in one cup of hot stock into the mixing bowl while whisking eggs well. (This tempers the eggs and keeps them from curdling). Then stir the eggs/broth into the saucepan, stirring well.

4. Add salt to taste. Add additional lemon juice to taste. Serve in a bowl, and add fresh pepper to the top of the soup.

I agree!!! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

So what is the texture like then? Is it like egg drop soup, or do the eggs just thicken the soup?

Soup for breakfast rocks! Soup with eggs for breakfast? AWESOME!!!

It is SO good! The texture is smooth and slightly thick. Not quite as thick as a soft custard, but nice and velvety. I drink it out of the bowl and don't bother with a spoon (unless I make it with the rice).

OH I FORGOT how much I love avgolemono! That would totally make a fine breakfast

lilearthmama i LOVE poached eggs I never though to poach them in soup!

When I make avgolemono, I use chicken stock, and simmer a bay leaf, a few cardamon pods and strips of lemon zest, then remove before doing the eggs.

Mmm...that soup sounds delicious! I wonder if my kids would be up for eating soup for breakfast? I really need to get more bone broth into them. Does it fill you up enough to get from breakfast to lunch without much of a snack?

My boys love soup for breakfast! When I can chew usually there is a meat componant to the soup, so it's really filling. Also sometimes I serve it with a savory almond or coconut flour muffin.
