YUMMY EGG & VEGGIE SOUP

Ingredients

2 eggs

3 handfulls fresh spinach

3 tomatoes

3 carrots

2 stalks celery

1/2 yellow onion

1 can chicken broth

3 cloves garlic

4 Tbls olive oil

approx. 5 c water

4 slices sourdough bread

1 spicy sausage (optional-but i think really gives it a kick)

1 dried bay leaf if possible

Directions

chop onion and garlic cloves
cook on medium heat in saucepan with olive oil and bay leaf and sliced sausage.

Sauté for a couple minutes then add water and broth (here you can add a little salt to absorb the taste).

add chopped carrots & celery.  Bring to boil until softened.  Switch to medium heat and add tomatoes and spinach.   When spinach is cooked add eggs (just put in immediately after cracking, no need to whisk together) and stir.  Salt to taste or add more water if needed.

Serve over a slice of sourdough bread.  Serves 4, unless you're serving hungry men like my husband...then it may just serve the two of you :D
