Soup for breakfast might seem like an alien concept to some, but here at Sadie’s Kitchen we love nothing more than a warming bowl of broth on a cold winter’s morning. The addition of the egg, delicious bread and some healthy greens, makes this the perfect start to any day. Sure to get you to lunch time and keep you fighting fit against cold and flu season.
This soup works great with either poached or boiled eggs. Boiled eggs are particularly handy because you can cook them the night before and have them ready to go for the morning. If you like the idea of a poached egg, we recommend poaching it directly in the broth for maximum flavour.
Sure give it a go, anyway. We bet you will love it!
What you need:
1 cup of Sadie’s Kitchen Comforting Chicken Bone Broth
1 egg, boiled or poached
1 slice of good bread – we recommend sour dough for extra flavour
1 cup of fresh greens, such as spinach or fresh herbs
1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil
A sprinkle of parmesan cheese
Squeeze of lemon juice
Salt & pepper to taste
What to do:
Drizzle the olive oil over the bread and toast
In a small pot, bring the broth to a boil and then reduce the heat to very low and allow to simmer
Gently break your egg into a cup and season with some salt
With a spoon, stir the broth and as it is moving pour in your egg
Poach* to your desired consistency
Add in your fresh greens and allow to simmer for 1 minute
Place the toasted bread in a bowl
Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and pop on top
Sprinkle some parmesan over both
Pour in the broth
Squeeze in some lemon juice
Salt & pepper to taste
*If a poached egg isn’t your thing, or too much work on a busy week day morning, a boiled egg works just as well.
Enjoy! x
