- sautee as much ginger and garlic as you like in oil or fat and/or soy sauce until fragrant
- put as much chicken stock (or water with bouillon etc) in as you like
- mix in carrots, bok choy, whatever vegetables you want
- at some point rice vinegar comes into the mix
- I also love to throw pelmeni or other dumplings into every soup I make. Do that once it comes to a boil
- prepare a corn starch slurry to thicken your broth.
- you'll want to use something like 2 eggs per cup of broth here. Crack them in while stirring with ladle. The speed you stir with will determine how much they flower
- ta-da! Egg drop soup. Kind of. It will be warm and comforting

You have things that are wilting, crying out to be used. I had a slightly soft turnip, carrot, bendy celery, and scallions that we’re getting a wee bit slimy.
Brown the vegetables that can handle it (the root vegetables—don’t put your alliums 🧅 yet)
Then add the softer stuff, celery, onion, leek, whateva.
Big bomb of garlic and Rosemary, if you have it.
At this point I add a base that I use for a lot of soups and such which is tomato paste and miso (bc I never have stock on me). And whatever spices you think go. Paprika and cumin.
Can of chickpeas. Mash like 1/3 of them for thicker soup base.
If you have a hardy green like kale, chop it up, toss it in. if your greens are not Hardy, add later.
Some tomatoes, canned peeled. (TIP: do NOT add the sauce from these canned tomatoes, save it for later or something, it’d simply too powerful and will cover up the tastes.)
Water — enough that some will evaporate and you’ll still have enough soup in the pot. and salt, a good amount bc vegetable soup needs it and if you’re like me haven’t used stock..
Let boil, then simmer Like 20 mins. Taste. MAJOR: apple cider vinegar and W sauce puts this shit over the edge !! You can toss in some pasta like ditalini if you want. Grown up alphabet soup. I actually do not cook the pasta in the soup bc it fucks up the water levels, make on the side and then add imo.
Ok enjoy :-)

I make a broth out of water, vegeta seasoning, a dash of turmeric, black pepper, a pinch of ginger and one whisked egg yolk. Lots of yummy goodness to help feel better!

can be made as soup-like as you desire by adding stock - I eat this probably 50% of my dinners at uni
My favourite thing is to add a silly amount of ginger paste, and maybe some spinach at the end for greens

Just not a fan. I could be enjoying so many other things but my dumb body and brain need to shut down for so long. Not that it doesn't feel good but I'd rather it was elective and that not doing it didn't have serious consequences
