ABC Soup For The Soul

I've spent the past five days sick with a cold (not too hard, but uncomfortable, you know the kind), at home watching The Office & House, and eating a lot of crap. And wearing no pants :-).

I should have eaten a lot of healthy soup, but I didn't. Only yesterday, when I ate a great tomato-spinach ABC soup.


It came out amazing, but it was quite simple: a can of tomatoes, some frozen spinach, veggie broth and letters & numbers!

I know, it's not too exciting... Forgive me, I'm sick!

To make it up for you, I found a picture from a couple of weeks ago.


The tiny wonderful potatoes are from our local market, I love them! And the stuff you see behind the potatoes are tempeh crumbles. They are yet another way to prepare yummy tempeh! I love everything in Jessy's blog, and this was no exception. They're so great that I eat them out of the fridge with my hand when I come home hungry. Seriously.

I'm off to make some soup! I'll have cake again for the next post! Cake! (I swear I eat veggies too...)

I hope you get better quickly. I like the sounds of your remedy--soup, no pants and tv. Perfect!

Those little potatoes are so cute.

I hope you are starting to feel better. I'm sure watching the Office helped you pass the time though.

That soup looks and sounds fantastic. This cooler weather has made me want dinners of soup and locally made bread.

Hope your better already? But I guess that ABC soup probably did his job so I'm expecting some good looking cake soon.

Bianca said...

Oh, I hope you get well soon. This weather (which I suspect is also changing and getting cooler in your region of Germany) makes it hard to avoid the getting sick. ABC Soup is the best cure though!
