Healthy Mug Soup

Healthy Mug Soup is a simple and delicious vegetable egg soup. Add this to your lunchbox routine – It is a snap to prep, pack and cook in any microwave.

Mug Soup for Busy Days

Most days I bike in to work. In the fall and winter it can become very cold here in Boise. On those brisk mornings I like to bring something with me to warm me up after my ride. Enter Healthy Mug Soup.

This is a simple, healthy recipe that provides a semi-hearty egg vegetable soup with lots of expansion options. The basic ingredients are bouillon, celery, carrot, and an egg but you can experiment to find your perfect morning pick me up. I personally use jalapenos, mushrooms, various meats including chicken, beef, and pork.

It is nice to switch up the base flavor with different bouillons (Better than Bouillon brand bouillons are my favorite).  When we have drippings from meat I add a little to provide some more breadth and richness to the flavor of the Soup. Bacon is the best of course.  I recommend you experiment to find your own perfect Healthy Mug Soup. Feel free to tell me what you’ve experimented with in the comments below.

I hope you enjoy this quick and convenient recipe as much as I do.
