Oscar's Egg Drop Soup-YES I got this from Evan's S.S. cookbook

2 eggs
2 cans (14 1/2oz each) low sodium chicken broth
1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
1 scallion trimmed and finely chopped
1 clove garlic finely chopped
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

Crack the eggs into a small bowl.  Use a fork to stir the eggs well before they're added to the soup.
Combing the chicken broth, 1 tbls. soy sauce, scallion, and garlic into a large saucepan.  Heat to boiling over high heat.  Reduce heat to low so it's simmering.

Gently stir the soup while you add the beaten eggs.  Simmer, without stirring until the egss are cooked, about 30 seconds.

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sesame oil.  Taste and add a few more drops of soy sauce, if you like.  I served it with store bought post stickers and some broccoli!

Potato and Egg scramble...a favorite in our house!

3 good size potatoes (usually use Yukon Gold) washed and cut into thin rounds...I leave skin on
4 -5 eggs lightly beaten with a fork.
Veggies desired (asparagus, green peppers, yellow squash, zucchini, fresh spinach etc..)
salt and pepper
shredded cheddar cheese

Lightly cover the bottom of a pan with olive oil over med. heat.  Put potatoes in and cover for 10 min. or so.  Potatoes should brown and start to soften.  Stir occasionally.  When potatoes just start to soften (15/20 min) add in any kind of sliced/small cut veggies. When all veggies/potatoes are fully soft add eggs and move around frequently (just like making scrambled eggs).  When eggs are scrambled add fresh spinach leaves if desired, let wilt down.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Stir in desired amount of shredded cheese.  Can serve topped with ketchup!
