The past week has been full of ups and downs as far as my health is concerned, so needless to say, this simple but nice, hearty, and warm soup was just the thing to make me feel better. No, it's not a miracle cure, but the light flavours and soft textures were perfect for soothing my flu symptoms. Plus, it was a great break from tasteless sick-people food!
