Soup Experiments

I may have said in an earlier post that I never liked soups until recent years. So the other day, I did an experiment. I took a can of vegetable stock, an equal amount of water, a few drops of pure sesame oil, adding spices of ginger, black pepper, garlic, sea salt. Bringing all that to a boil, I then added vegetables of chinese cabbage, celery, mushrooms and broccoli florets and cooked all for a few minutes. I really didn't want the broccoli to get pale. Once that was cooked, I added a few eggs (inspired by a local Asian restaurant). I must admit that surprisingly, the meal turned out delicious BUT the broccoli heads probably weren't a good choice as they and the egg mixture didn't look too pretty. The broth alone is worth noting.. it was simply appealing to the palate. I get this mental thing with soups now... it's like it awakens me. I love soups!!! I'd like to research what are the benefits of a soup only diet, because if I had a choice what to eat, I'd choice soups easily.
