My fellow early morning munchers Listen up close!
I am sitting here at Susuans coffee shop pondering what would be a great breakfast idea and I think I am experiencing "brunch block" that ugly step child of writers block. I cannot get soup off of my mind, I do love soup. If only there were a breakfast soup hmm does cerial count? NO NO that will not do. It just doesn't have the spirit of soup...hmmm I am going to go and goolge "breakfast soup" and see what turns up, be right back....
....ok well apparently I am not crazy and such things do exist, AMAZING. Well here they are, take a look.
The first is a traditional classic mans breakfast in the form of soup off course. It's called "Breakfast soup Aka Bacon and Egg soup" It is not for the faint of heart or for the cardiovascularly challenged due to the bacon but I am sure we could clean it up.
The second is a little more light and fruity, for the health conscience soup lover on the go it is called "Fruit and Raisin Breakfast soup" . It features many fine fruits and I have no doubt it will smell incredible with the simmering that goes on. We all know how sometimes we don't know what to bring, well worry no longer. The ingredients list will provide ample opportunity for everyone to bring something. (ps. The picture is completely unrelated to the recipe but I couldn't resist throwing it up)
Last but not least is a little oriental children's favorite called "Congee" or "rice" , it is the most popular breakfast in China (Gary I know you love it already!) It is a breakfast soup that could also be called a rice porridge. I figure we could spice it up with a lovely array of fruit and whole grain goodies. If it is good enough for that thief Goldilocks, why not us.Well I realize this is a bit wild and crazy so if you completely hate the idea I hope you at least enjoyed the post, I tried to have as much fun with "breakfast soup" as I possibly could. Well I am anxious to hear your thoughts.

My friend I loved your post and this is definitely an original idea with very nice pictures included. I would vote for the "Congee" and the "Fruit and Raisin Soup". I will gladly bring recipe items as soon as we decide what we would like to eat

Hey Jorry, a great selection of dishes to choose from. Of all the three I think I'll cast my vote for the "Fruit & Raisin soup". Once we get it narrowed down I'll contribute to the ingredients as well.

I didn't mean to sound like people didn't contribute. It was for the sake of banter in my post and also I just know how I sometimes don't know what to bring. I am basing this post on the fact that I feel like since you both mentioned the ingredients, that maybe I came of sounding critical in my post. Sorry for any mis-communication.

My vote would be for the fruit and raisin soup.

I'm not sure what to make of the Breakfast Soup ... I'm very open to new ideas, but it has that "Barbequed Pancakes" sound to it.

Hey Jorry. Don't worry about your post I know your intentions were not to be critical in fact I rather enjoyed it. But since homefries are always a good addition to the menu I can go ahead and bring those if that sounds like a winner. See ya Saturday.

I'm looking at all the comments and trying to figure out what to pick up at the store today. What to buy? Maybe I'll just make some scones--finally. I'll also pick up some dried fruit (perhaps cherries and/or apricots) in case the group decides on Fruit and Raisin Soup. I'm looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
