Soup Nazi Eat Your Heart Out
Back to back Holiday parties coupled with cold winter weather is a triple threat to my body: 1) overload of appetizer induced calories; 2) no time to exercise away the bloated feeling; 3) low immune system. I’m left sitting at work wishing…I take that back…PRAYING…for a pair of sweatpants with a nice stretched out elastic waistband.
Since I highly doubt my office would appreciate me wearing a plush pair of Champion sweats at the desk, I have to find my comfort and warmth in the form of food. Today, I ventured into a deli slash market slash corner Bodega that happened to have a pop up soup stand (only in New York) – think ultra cheap ($5.50/4 cup container) for huge portions of miso broth with veggies (you can also add chicken or shrimp) and either udon or buckwheat soba noodles. Almost all Asian restaurants or to-go stands carry the soup, although likely not in bucket size quantities. Great comfort food plus added nutrients from the veggies and broth to hike back up my immune system…just in time for Holiday party number 6 of the week.
