This is Sick Day Soup.
This soup is warm, comforting, easy to make, and definitely a way to try to kick those cold germs to the curb.
I started making this soup back in graduate school, where I always had one big cold each winter. This soup was super easy to make while sick because it required minimal ingredients and minimal time (and minimal time standing in the upright position). Because the priority was getting back into bed (and laying down) pronto.
With this funky weather we are having, I am feeling a summer cold starting to creep in… so I decided to whip up a big batch this week. This Sick Day Soup has all the perfect elements for feeling better – it is full of soft orzo pasta, it is thickened with two eggs (for protein), and it is loaded with tons of lemon juice (vitamin C for the win!!). Basically, it is a surefire way to feeling better (with water + rest + cold meds, of course!).
Oh, and don’t worry – your non-sick crew will love it too…
