I love homemade soup. It really warms you up and is so good for you too.
Tonight I broke out a batch of the frozen goodness and heated it for my dinner.
Only problem is that with the flu, I can't taste the soup.
Oh well, at least I'll be eating lite and healthy.

My grandmother always had a kettle of home made soup on the back of the wood burning stove. A continuation of the old Depression days I think.
Save a bowl and freeze it. Then when you are over the dreaded flu you can have it and enjoy its flavor.

I have several containers in the freezer. One will be saved for a later date.

@celticeagle I am thinking I should have hubby stop at the store and bring home some Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup so I can save the good stuff for later!

I hate when I can't taste, that's the worst! I hope the soup helps though and you start feeling better really soon.

Hot soup and hot tea, both make me feel better.

I was lazy tonight, I wasn't hungry because we ate a big lunch out at a fancy place when we were out shopping.
So I opened a can of tomato soup for my hubby and made him a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich on toast.
Your soup sounds delicious.

I made my husband an egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich. Well, actually I made him 2, because he has a big appetite at dinner time. He didn't touch his soup so I put it back for me to have today.

Soup is probably the best choice for your cold even if you can't really taste it. Hope you feel better soon

The nurse practitioner said the Tamiflu would help lessen the symptoms. Hoping to be back to work by Monday.

It tasted great when I first made it. Of course I didn't a have the flu back then.

I have colds the last few days and can't taste food too. Hope your flu will be gone

I keep thinking I should have the hubby buy some canned soup for me. Progresso is okay, and probably the best that I can buy premade. But, even still, it doesn't compare with homemade.

@ElusiveButterfly since making my own soup I have realised that readymade is expensive and nowhere as nutricious.

I hope so Marlina. At least I will be able to get the health benefits of the soup to help me get better.

That soup will not only warm the soul, it will definitely help you get over that flu more quickly! Keep eating the good stuff so you can return to good health soon!

@ElusiveButterfly Don't worry, I know exactly what you are feeling. I've got a full-blown case of the flu too, and I'm just praying I feel good enough to go to work on Monday morning. I can't afford to miss any days of work right now.

@moffittjc I can't afford to miss any more time either. But, I can't work if my butt is dragging and my clients would worry that they could catch it and probably cancel the visit.

@DianneN I think that I'll probably head back to bed before too long. I have a headache, sinuses are plugged, and I am so achy. Time for more acetaminophen.

I just had toast with honey. Bland foods seem to keep my tummy from getting queasy. I am also sipping seltzer and water to keep hydrated. Couldn't finish my tea this morning.

Get well soon. I love eating soup especially when I'm sick and when it's cold.

I almost told my hubby to bring home some canned soup, then remembered I have the frozen turkey soup and am glad I did!

I'm sorry to hear that you have the flu. I hope that you are feeling better soon, and that the soup at least hit the spot a little.

It was just what the doctor ordered. I will most likely be dining on it for a few days.

I love vegetable soup. Even my turkey, chicken, or beef soups have more vegetables in them than meat.

@LadyDuck I no longer add rice, noodles, or any starch to my soups, unless my husband wants it. I pick out the noodles.

@ElusiveButterfly We do not add meat to the vegetable soup, sometimes rice or barely.

I actually feel worse today. Yesterday it came on me quite fast. But, today it is lingering and bogging me down. Soup is on the menu for tonight's dinner.

@HazySue I am home early again. Thankfully my last client didn't take that long to get their housework done. I need to sit back and breathe.

@ElusiveButterfly the flu has a way of progressing like that. I hope you are up and about and feeling great before long. Until then, just rest and recuperate.
