Sorry, were you saying something?
I got distracted by ALL THE VEGGIES and ALL THE HEAT and EGGS ON TOP.
== all of my favorite things in one brothy bowl.
So good even when you’re living in a citywide sauna. (I mean, that’s what after dinner/lunch/breakfast popsicles are for, #amIright??)

This recipe is from the new cookbook, A Girl and Her Greens by April Bloomfield. April has a very root-to-leaf eating style and her recipes definitely reflect her appreciation for eating every part of a vegetable and celebrating the underdogs of the vegetable world. There are so many recipes I have bookmarked from it (most memorably, her broccoli rabe morning buns) but somehow this stuck out to me as the one that I NEEDED IMMEDIATELY. Probably because asparagus is having it’s moment in the sun and who am I to not devour it every chance I get?!
The best part about this is that it can totally be adapted depending on what vegetables are available where you are. For instance, the original called for spring onions and spring garlic but since I couldn’t find either, I went with scallions and regular garlic. Still delicious.
You do you, is the point. YOU.DO.YOU.
The one thing I absolutely MUST insist on though is the SPICE. Admittedly, the original recipe didn’t call for it and I found it to be a tad bit lackluster without it, but a few spoonfuls of harissa later and I was beside myself with happiness as I gulped down spoonful after spoonful. You can pretty much use whatever hot sauce you have on hand, but I love harissa because I feel like it has a tangy hint of sweet flavor to it that other condiments don’t have. Also, I love working up a sweat while I eat…so there’s that. I realize that not everyone has the appreciation for heat that I do, though, so obviously feel free to add it to taste.

Spicy Spring Vegetable Egg Drop Soup
Chock full of asparagus, carrots, garlic, and peas, this spring vegetable egg drop soup is vibrant, healthy, and, most importantly, SPICY from a healthy dose of harissa.
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ lb carrots, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 8 scallions, chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into ½-inch slices
  • 1 lb peas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • handful of mint, roughly chopped
  • handful of basil, roughly chopped
  • ½ lemon
  • ⅓ cup harissa
Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add in the carrots, scallions, garlic, and salt. Cover and cook, stirring after 5 minutes, and then occasionally until the vegetables start to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Uncover and add the vegetable broth. Bring the heat to high until the broth simmers. Add the asparagus and peas to the pot and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, beat the eggs and the parmesan cheese in a small bowl with a pinch of salt. Once the vegetables are cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the herbs. Drizzle the egg mixture over the soup. Stir gently once and then let sit for a minute or two, until the egg sets. Remove the pot from the heat. Season to taste with salt. Squeeze in the lemon juice and serve dolloped with the harissa.
