Sounds like just what the doctor ordered! I made soup yesterday as we're all suffering at the moment, it is so comforting. Hope you get better soon and that the soup did the trick.

That soup sounds yummy. Tinned tomato and buttered toast is what my mum always gave me when we were ill - so it is incredible comfort food for me.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon - I have that scratchy throat, stuffy nose feeling that makes me think a cold is coming ....
Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteTime to wrap up warmly and be kind to yourself. I hope that you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious. My kids don't like squash in any shape or form so I can see me making this and freezing in portions for my lunches ;) Thank you for sharing! xx
