So, this was just me:
"Hey, I'm almost out of food and kinda broke. Let's see, what do I have...oatmeal, goldfish, croutons, condiments, marshmallows, flour, milk, baking soda... I know, I'll make soda bread! Michael Pollan, you can suck it; my bread will only have THREE ingredients and none of them yeast!
Okay, now I'll get the flour down aaaaaaaand...................NYAH! BLAH! WEEVILS! ...........Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeviiiiiiilllllls."
The thing is, I've been eating weevils for at least a month now, and I'm not very concerned. I'm on a soup fixation, and most of my soups use roux...it's just, I never bothered to see whether or not my food was crawling before I boiled the shit out of it. So part of me is like, oh, just nuke the flour for 10 minutes, that'll kill the little bastards. And part of me is like...weeeeeeeeviiiiiills. Gross.
In the end, two bags of flour, a thing of oatmeal, and my instant miso all went in the dumpster. Sadness!

In a first pot, boil whatever veggies you have on hand, chopped up, in enough water to cover them or a bit more. For me, this was two carrots, a leek, and a bit of garlic.
Bring a second pot of water to a rapid boil. While stirring the water, slowly pour in some whipped eggs. (Because I want mostly protein, I use just the egg whites, leaving only one yolk.)
Pour the second pot into the first. Add salt, pepper, a drop of sesame oil, and a couple bundles of those noodles that were on sale at the store. Because noodles aren't cheap enough as is, y'know?
The traditional recipe is done in a single pot, just starting with a soup stock. But I don't want to give up the chunky veggies. I just needed to get them out of the way long enough to stir in the eggs to their proper whispy consistency.
