You know that feeling of pre-sickness? You think you might be getting sick, but you are just not sure. I HATE IT! I think my body is being a giant pain in the ass ( gosh, I wish I had any sort of ass), just make up your mind get sick or stay healthy, this is a bigger body betrayal than falling off a wheelchair ramp and tearing all the ligaments in your foot ( yes, that actually happened to me).
I guess I should stop being so MELodramatic, see what I did their, that’s my name, ha! I’m so punny. I have been taking vitamin pills, echinacea tincture and been drinking all kinds of tea, trying not to get sick. The idea of having tissues all over my house gives me the power to drink anything that will make me better, that includes beet juice. I hate beet juice. Its a pretty colour, but it just tastes so beety.
This soup. This soup is nothing like beet juice. Its delicious and packed full of immune boosting goodness. The broth is just bread dunking delicious! Bursting with flavor and goodness. If you are not a fan of tofu in soup, just leave it out! Replace it with mushrooms or anything that you like. This is your soup, make it your own. Don’t follow any rules!
