Julia, dear, I love it! I was turned on to savory, spicy breakfast soups in Myanmar, where Mohinga, a spicy fish and rice noodle soup - is considered by some to be the national dish. Since then I am a devoted fan - and maker - of such soups, and sometimes of savory, spicy oatmeal! - for breakfast, though often as not I am forced to pimp up a commercial soup for a quick fix. Throw in some flash-frozen shrimp, kafir lime leaves, thai chilis, some leafy greens, fish sauce and lime juice and lots of noodles. Of course, a big greasy meal works, too, though I'm a fan of trying that before retiring to bed. Bonne année!

I forgot about Mohinga!! Thanks for the reminder - of one of my favourite soups. And country.
