Yes, you read it right ... Cracker Soup, ladies and gentlemen. This has been my meal for nearly a week now; seemingly, because I cannot chew. I don't wish to go off into my long story about my toothache, nor do I want to drill on the sad subject of not being able to do the one thing I truly take pride in.
It all started last week, I needed to eat something in order to take my pain medications ... what to eat? I stood in front of my cupboards and refrigerator, hoping for something to jump out at me. No luck. So, I had to put my thinking cap on. Not just any cap, but a healthy thinking cap. Eureka! I figured that chicken broth was my safest bet. But, how on earth would chicken broth fill me up? That's when I concocted this recipe I'm sharing with you:
saltine crackers
chicken broth
microwave
First, crumble saltine crackers (as many as you wish) into a small bowl. Once you have crumbled the crackers, pour chicken broth over the crumbled crackers. Next, put bowl of crumbled crackers and broth into the microwave, Heat on high for at least one minute. Remove the bowl, and stir the mixture. Be sure to blend mixture well, and then enjoy!
This recipe is shared for the many people who may not be able to chew, or may need to take medication and cannot eat a full course breakfast, or any other kind of meal.
Who would have ever thought of making a meal out of crumbled crackers and chicken broth? Definitely not me, but it sure has been added to my recipe book!

Top-level comments on this article: (5 total)what about a dentist?! (and I thought that the title was about white folks!)Even in pain, you're a punster;"nor do I want to drill on the sad subject ..."Do feel better and see a dentist as teeth are close to the brain and infections spread!; PaulPaul! You are definitely a dose of laughter, thanks for that. LOL. I cannot stop laughing, Paul. But, I have to in order to say that I have been to the dentist, and am happy to say the suspect is gone! Thanks for the laughter, and your concern.Take two doses of laughter every three hours and call me in the morning!Doctors USED to say;"and call me in the morning",when they used to care; now, the caseloads are monumental as the profits are more important than the individual patient.I am glad that you're feeling better( but I DID think that the title WAS about white folks!)
Cracker soup! I think my granddaughter is the co-inventor of this recipe! Not for sustenance while in pain, as yours was, but simply because it's FUN to watch crackers mush up in a bowl!And think of the varieties: saltines, Ritz, Whole Wheat, Triscuits. The possibilities are endless!Feel better soon!Maureen, you be sure to tell her that I too, like the process of the cracker turning to mush. That may be the reason of my continuing to eat it, while using a toothache (that had passed) as an excuse to make it, LOL.
How about a milkshake with almond milk and fruit? When is the dentist appt? I am hurting with you just reading this one. MarijoYes, Marijo the pain is just that strong. Thanks for sharing it with me. Thank Heavens, I was able to get an extraction before Thanksgiving.
