Sometimes we don't feel well, sometimes we are tired, but most of the times we're both! This soup is a great when you are not feeling well and it is fairly simple to make, the only pain being the immediate prep work, but other than that, just put everything together set the timer, vege out on the couch and wait for the soup to be done. Enjoy!
