My sister just brought me some cheese broccoli soup from the Bread Co. So good! Next week is my "chemo week" and I feel better eating soup during that time. Do any of you have a favorite soup that makes you feel better at that time? Morsie, I'm looking forward to the your chicken and dumplings next week! My tastebuds are returning finally today. I eat alot of crackers, too. That helps.

    Laurissa,
    Good observation!. During my Chemo I ate soup two times a day. Usually two different ones, including vegetable.

    soup
    If I am really nauseated, I only like potato soup. When I am feeling just a little off, I like the turkey gumbo (just posted recipe under recipes part 2 discussion).

    Chemo was hard on my stomach! I ate a lot of chicken and rice soup with crackers. Also ate a lot of cheese crackers, mashed potatoes, and yogurt. Oh, and one thing I also liked was Fruit Loops! I never buy sugary cereals like that but during chemo, it was one of my indulgences. Now I'm back to my healthy Kashi cereals!

    Potato-leek soup
    Laurissa,

    During chemo, I was concerned that I wasn't getting any vegetables in me, and a lot of women here said that potatoes were the one vegetable that tasted good to them during chemo.

    So I dug out one of my all-time favorite recipes, Potato-Leek Soup, made a big batch before one of my chemo rounds, and froze it in single-serving sizes. Definitely one of my better ideas...all I had to do was throw it in the microwave.

    The recipe is posted under Let's Share Recipes Continued - Part 2 -- scroll down to September 29th.

    Enjoy!
