Coffee Soup
"A tasty depression-era breakfast of convenience. Believe it or not, my grandfather started my mother on this when she was a mere toddler. Poor thing never stood a chance! She still loves her coffee, although she drinks it black nowadays."

I grew up doing this with matzo, something my mother taught me. We just use big coffee mugs though. I've never seen here do it with bread but I started to with the old challah and love it. Good with cinnamon and nutmeg too. Great post! -
ABSOLUTELY awesome. I used 2 slices honey wheat bread and artificial sweetener. Also I subbed soy milk and sprinkled with cinnamon on top. Delicious! -
I was really intregued when I saw this recipe. I used cinnamon sugar instead of plain sugar since it's suggested in the recipe. Pretty tasty, but not something I would have again, personally. I think it would be best with a nice cinnmon-raisin bread. Be sure that your coffee is really nice and hot- this was much better hot than cool. Thanks! -
Here I was thinking that my husband was the only one that EVER did this!!! It's one of his comfort foods he shared with his granny. Great Post Mercy! -
Oh my gosh! This did take me back to when I was little in the 50's, and enjoying this with my father. We just ate/drank this from a cup.
