EggDrop Soup and Curry Tuna

Talk about uncharted territory...

I managed to get creative for dinner tonight....

I made my own version of Paleo Plan's Egg Drop Soup . I wasn't too jazzed about just having soup for dinner, so I threw together a green curry tuna wrap. I'm pretty happy with myself...

recipes below:)


Egg Drop Soup

This is a super comforting, delicious soup. The recipe makes A LOT, so pack for lunches or feed your fam! 
  • 1 Tbsp butter substitute (i used earth balance flax seed spread)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 stalks of celery, diced  (optional)
  • 4 medium carrots, diced
  • 1 Tbsp butter substitute (i used earth balance flax seed spread)
  • 1/2 head of cabbage, coarsely chopped
  • 8 cups of vegetable stock (or chicken broth)
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger 
  • 1 tsp wheat free tamari sauce, low sodium.  
  • 1/4 tsp sesame oil
  •  salt to taste
  • 6 eggs, whisked
In a large 4 qt soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add carrots, onion and celery. Saute over medium heat, until onions are translucent and carrots begin to soften. Pour in veggie stock and mix in cabbage and sesame oil. Cover pan and bring to a boil.  Let soup continue to simmer, until thickened. In small bowl, whisk together eggs. Once soup is thickened, slowly pour egg mixture into soup. You'll see white egg ribbons throughout the soup. I let mine cook for another ten minutes or so, because I panic about eating raw egg business.


Green Curry Tuna Wrap with Avocado 

Makes a delightful snack or lunch or whatever you desire.
Makes 2 wraps
  • 1 can albacore tuna, packed in water, drained
  • 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp green thai curry paste (most are paleo friendly, but read those ingredients!)
  • 1 tbls coconut milk (not beverage, but the stuff in the can)
  • 1/2 tsp lime juice
  • 2 green chard leafs (or if leafy greens arent your thing, ya weirdo , you could use a romaine lettuce leafs.
  • 1 avocado, diced
In a small bowl mix together tuna, curry paste, coconut milk and lime. Set aside. Remove stalks from chard.  Spoon half the tuna mixture into one of the chard leafs and top with half the avocado. Repeat process (duh...) Roll up mixture like a burrito? and eat!
