Soup Extravaganza

So I’m in day 3 of my “No talking, no straws, no chewing” mission. It sucks. I’ve been home for three days which sounds awesome, but isn’t. I can’t really do anything at all or leave the house. I just hope there is no scarring, since that would make the ordeal worth it. I’ve been trying to keep up a decent diet in spite of everything, and I have been taking vitamins as well. On the plus side, I have also tried a lot of new non-solid foods lately.

Bad:

• V8 Tropical Orange Juice: It’s ok for V8 I guess, but you can tell it’s got weird stuff in it.
• Golden Mushroom Soup: Doesn’t taste good, and the soggy mushroom bits are too big. The tomato puree gives the soup a strange taste.
• Peaches n’ Cream Yogurt: This doesn’t taste like peaches at all. It actually tastes like FAIL.
• Tomatoes and Herb Soup: Actually well put-together (one of those nice boxed soups), but I found out I don’t like tomato soup. It makes me feel like I am sucking down a ton of pasta sauce.

Good:

• Portabella Soup: It looks gross, but this soup had a really pleasant texture and taste.
• Vanilla Pudding: Easily the MVP of the bunch.
• Key Lime Yogurt: Nice and tart, this yogurt tasted like I expected it to.

Pending:

• Butternut Squash Soup: I am kinda scared about this one.
• Broccoli Soup: I usually like broccoli, but it looks strange on the cover.
• Sweet Red Pepper: Not sure what to expect… Sweet soup?

I have been longing for a nice crusty hunk of bread to go with the soup. This diet is killing me. I can’t wait to get the stitches removed so I can have a burger. I haven’t felt any pain, but I looked up the painkillers and it sounds like they are totally weaksauce!

Edit (Soup Updates):

• Butternut Squash Soup: Tasted surprisingly awesome.
• Broccoli Soup: Now I know why this is usually combined with cheese. The broccoli taste was a bit much for me.
• Sweet Red Pepper: Kinda bland, and not that tasty.
