Egg Drop Noodle soup with Sriracha

T'was the end of the school year for Mrs. Kertney. She was looking forward her summer break and couldn't wait to mash up the celebratory margarita ingredients she had waiting at home. As she was packing away her materials, Mrs. Kertney couldn't help but notice that her throat was feeling funny. "Does my throat hurt," she said to herself as she waved goodbye to another one of her after school students? She came home, stored away a few boxes in the basement, made dinner for her family and curled up in a feverish, chilly mess, unable to swallow anything. A trip to MedExpress the following morning would prove that her margaritas would have to wait. Strep throat had invaded her plans. MOTHER F#@#(&@ER! She needed soup. She didn't have any of the Campbells/Ramen variety and her husband wasn't answering his cell phone to bring her some. SON OF A B*#$! Plan B: Make some!

If you aren't dead on a toilet, you can make this soup. I did it, didn't I? Hell, I had a fever of 102º and my throat was on fire and my joints were pulsating... but I was super hungry and I needed something BESIDES yogurt and tea! Something SUBSTANTIAL that I could swallow dagnabbit!

Side note: Adding cider vinegar to your tea will do WONDERS for your sore throat because of it's high, bacteria killing acidity levels! Cider vinegar and honey is actually pretty tasty in raspberry flavored tea. It's probably tasty in any tea? Try it next time. Two capfuls of cider vinegar in one mug o' tea. 

You can serve your soup in a gold plated Mr. T
Stein for EXTRA power, foo'!  

 EGG DROP NOODLE SOUP... with Sriracha 
1 serving     7 minutes flat

2 cups of vegetable broth
1/4 cup pasta (any kind)
1 Scallion, sliced  (I used kitchen shears and cut them up)
1 egg
1 tsp Teriyaki sauce
Sriracha

Take your broth, sauce and pasta and let it boil for a good 5 minutes. Crack your egg directly into the bowl and stir it around with a fork. You will see it IMMEDIATELY turn white and lumpy. Add your handful of sliced scallions and 1 good squirt of Sriracha. Done.

You have just created a salty, nose opening, protein rich soup that will tame the sorest throat or the stuffiest nose. And... it's a Clean Eat. Now go and make your soup, take an ibuprofen, eat and get some rest. I pitty the Fool who doesn't get his rest!

Side, side note: Cold grapefruit (or grapefruit juice) is ANOTHER awesome sore throat remedy. It literally numbs the pain better than ANYTHING Vicks or Halls can come up with. Sprinkle a little Sugar in the Raw on top of a halved grapefruit and have at it! Thank me later.
