So, I’ve got pneumonia and am the only one who can cook in my household. I was told strictly to stay in bed and basically not do anything, but I’ve gotta eat and I’d like some good veggie soup. Any suggestions for how to make something quick and easy? I’ve got some good veggie stock already in the freezer thankfully but how can I quickly add to it to make it more filling? Are frozen veggies a good option? Egg noodles? It doesn’t have to be delicious, just easy and edible
I know this is late ABS I hope you’re feeling better
Adding soya sauce to soup can easily add a salty umami flavour and enhance your soup.
I like to add it to my mushrooms and cook them separately then add them to the soup to get a more deep flavour, but you can heat mix it into your bowl as you’re eating too.
Simple, cheap, easy and adds flavour.
Thanks! I’m on an upward trend, but still pretty much cooking at a basic level. I love soy sauce and have tons of mushrooms so I’ll give this a try!
Canned beans: Healthy, filling, cheap, and convenient
Beans, broth, and salt wouldn’t be amazing, but it could get you through a few meals. Add some black pepper and it might actually be pretty good.
Add carrots (frozen or fresh), onion, celery to step it up a notch.
