Soup for breakfast

[hmpf]

Strangely, I find it easiest to launch quickly into a day of effective activity when I start that day with warmed-up soup from the evening before (or the evening before that; the point being merely that it has to be 'there' already, rather than having to be prepared.) Soup is easy and *fast* to warm up, and it's nearly effortless to eat. Also, it's kind of comforting, acting as an internal hot-water bottle once it's in your stomach.

Maybe I should just give up on that German custom of having a couple of slices of bread-with-stuff-on-it for breakfast? That's what I usually eat for breakfast, but I feel it really slows down my start into the day, and I usually don't enjoy it much. A breakfast of bread seems to take me about an hour to prepare and consume. Soup is fifteen minutes, *and* I feel kind of more... energized after it, too.

Hm.

You could save even more time if you ladled it out the night before and left it in the bowl/mug in the fridge, then in the morning, microwave, beep boop, tada!

That would require me to buy a microwave.

For which, aside from the problem of me not having any spare money, there also would be no space in my tiny kitchen.

But the gas stove does the job in just a couple of minutes, too. :-)
