Your soup looks very tasty. It would be wonderful on a cold day.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177123397341454032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960667416014167649.post-72186644707036718112009-07-26T09:11:47.852-07:002009-07-26T09:11:47.852-07:00AL: sometimes I make it thick and pour it over mea...AL: sometimes I make it thick and pour it over meat as a sauce, sometimes I add ground meat on top and cheese...you can do whatever you want with it that's the best part!<br /><br />MzzLily: sometimes I squish it through a sieve too when I'm not feeling well to get out the extra chunks. Fortunately if I'm healthy I can eat whatever I want if I don't overdo it, but we still eat farm share soup regardless since we love it so much! <br /><br />Jejune: I hope your daughter is doing well with her diabetes, half of staying healthy I swear is a staying positive. Although it's really hard to do sometimes, I have my moments of feeling doomed trust me. and it's especially hard as a teenager. Being diagnosed at 14 was super tough, but I made it! <br /><br />thanks for visiting everyone! especially the new names, I love seeing a new name pop up in the comment block! :)<br /><br />-katekatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07177977094835269643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960667416014167649.post-9823010119253883062009-07-25T23:12:54.561-07:002009-07-25T23:12:54.561-07:00We're big soup fans down here too, it's on...We're big soup fans down here too, it's one of our favourite meals. I love the idea of whizzing up all your fresh veggies into a weekly soup :)<br /><br />My 18-year old daughter and I both liked what you said about "living" with your disease, too, rather than "suffering". She has Type 1 Diabetes, and it often feels like suffering - a good reminder to check her mental attitude to the challenges it brings up daily.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137577463781242181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960667416014167649.post-9823571348398588162009-07-25T20:26:18.897-07:002009-07-25T20:26:18.897-07:00Yum!

It was almost thick as gravy, but no chunks of anything. I love your color method! It must be tough trying to meet your dietary needs without the soup.

Like you I always like veggie soup much more if everything is organically grown. I am glad that people nowadays are eating healthy, I'm gonna try that soup recipe and maybe add some chicken meat or perhaps mushroom cream soup.<br /><br />ALAlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492525710308662179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960667416014167649.post-17277853441486384752009-07-25T17:36:56.441-07:002009-07-25T17:36:56.441-07:00Lynn: You are a survivor!

Eating veggies is one thing you can definitely do to keep yourself healthy. <br /><br />Rae: I've never put a sweet potato in before, but I was lacking in anything orange so I threw it in, pretty tasty!<br /><br />DJan: I got so sick of "western" approaches to my illness that I sought out acupuncture, meditation and diet and it seems to really help...for now :)<br /><br />Honeygo: I had a cold garlic cream soup recipe somewhere...I should dig it out. <br /><br />SQ: Friends of ours throw sausage in to their version of farm share soup. you could hide your veggies that way!<br /><br />Susan: I try not to dwell on the fact that my insides aren't always healthy, sometimes it does get to you. But I did a mind-set change, a diet change, some acupuncture and married an extremely supportive guy. Now four years after my first batch of farm share soup I have no problem gaining weight (unfortunately!), I have a beautiful baby girl, get to actually enjoy salad and still haven't had to have any surgery!<br /><br />thanks for visiting everyone! if you have issues making soup shoot me a note. happy veggie eating :)<br />-katekatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07177977094835269643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960667416014167649.post-14849923630076815812009-07-25T14:24:40.953-07:002009-07-25T14:24:40.953-07:00I love your positive attitude, my friend!

One of the few ways I get him to eat vegetables is with soups. This is good recipe, like Rae, I had never thought of adding sweet potato.<br /><br />I admire your approach to Crohn's, naturally with no meds. A great story and recipe. Thanks for taking part in the challenge this is perfect.<br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend,<br />JudySquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960667416014167649.post-31531600223667694792009-07-25T10:10:55.206-07:002009-07-25T10:10:55.206-07:00I agree, soup is good eatin' - everyday!

I'd like to try a cold soup now.

I think your approach to Crohn's is ideal -- and gosh you not only get to eat your veggies, you get to have them in soup!

After it is done, it is quick to grab and quick to heat.
