Soooooooup

I am so glad I discovered that I can eat soup and have it drain out my g-tube.  It is completely solving my steroid-hunger problems.  They now sell all kinds of soup broths in the store, in boxes, you just pour it out and put it in the microwave, instant soup.  And very few of them have anything large enough to clog the tube with.

Today I also discovered if I take potato soup and pre-grated Parmesan cheese I can melt the Parmesan into the soup and it tastes amazing.

I could live without ever eating again, I know I could, but it wouldn’t be near as much fun.

So far my favorite flavor is potato leek.  I haven’t tried the parmesan in that yet, I used a different potato broth for this.  I like savory soups better than sweet ones, just as I like savory food better than sweet food in general.  Umami FTW!
