Healthy soup tastes sooo good.

There is nothing like a steaming bowl of healthy soup when you are not feeling quite up to par.

Does anyone remember how delicious a warm bowl of soup (I remember chicken soup) tasted when you were younger and didn't feel well? Mom or Dad always had a special healthy soup to make you feel better.

Maybe a few saltines or oyster crackers on the side? We smashed our crackers and put them in the soup. It was enough to make your discomfort melt away. At least until the next nice warm bowl of soup!
