My heart went out to the tired young mama as she said, “We were all throwing up this past week and even tho we’re not throwing up anymore, no one has an appetite. We’re just so…blah!

I smiled, for I knew I had just the thing for her and her “blah” feeling family. This wasn’t the first time I had heard this story but, to begin with, that story started with my own family.

You know the BRAT diet, bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast for when you feel off on the tummy? Well, my family could handle the bananas, applesauce, and toast but, not the rice. Whenever I served rice after a stomach episode (in the “blah” stage) They hated it and didn’t want rice for a long time afterward. I really didn’t like it either but, that’s what you were supposed to eat, right?

One day I stumbled across this recipe called “Creamy Vegetable Soup”. I decided to try that out on my “blah” feeling family who hated rice. They loved it!

Chicken broth just has a way of soothing one from the top of the head way down to the toes and on the way down it’ll soak into the bones and into the very soul!

It is what I serve to other “blah” feeling families and even to some that are feeling well. They love the comfort that it brings.

Here is the recipe,
