Yes, i know this soup looks terrible, but before you judge me listen to my story. Pregnant and nauseous. A loaf of bread (just looking at it) can make me gag until I throw up. Smells are the worst, especially when no one else can smell them and you can't figure out where the heck they are coming from. If you come to visit, you will find little containers of baking soda strategically placed around the kitchen. You need to eat but have no clue what to make, and you need food now before you start to get nauseous and gag. I started to realize that for a few days my eating habits were going downhill...bagals, plain chips, gummy fruity snacks, (and a few more unmentionables that i wouldn't even think to eat while not gestating) they all go down pretty easy. But that is just poor nutrition, so I forced myself to try this soup.
handful of fresh spinach
1 celery stalk
1 carrot
maybe a small slice onion
maybe some red pepper
cup of hot veggie broth
and it doesn't taste bad! and it doesn't smell bad! it just looks bad. and the pH must be neutral because it is gentle on the stomach :)
I've been trying to have a mug a day :) And it is going pretty good! That is my pregnant story for you :) Next week I think we will hear the baby's heart beat at our appointment :)
Warmly,
Chelsa

Hey -- I realized I had all those things in my fridge, so I tried your soup. I did shrivel my nose when I first smelled it though. I had to add some garlic salt and lemon pepper for a little more flavor. Plus I threw in some left over chicken which made it quite tasty (I like the chunks). Thanks for sharing!
It's great to hear you are getting something nourishing to eat, Chels! Any day now you will be eating regular food...just in time to send Ben out for your weekly cravings! I really enjoyed your D.C. pictures. It was good to see some of the newer monuments. I am anxious to hear about your appointment next week! Take care, love you both!
Sounds great! Glad you are getting some good nutrients when it is so difficult to do so! I am glad you are having some better days now, lets pray that continues.
