Fancied my favourite chicken soup, but am out of chicken and don't want to go shopping again yet, so found a huge turkey breast in the freezer and used that.
Cooked it in water, added new potatoes, onion, peas, carrots, a little bit of sweetcorn, parsley, chicken Oxo and Bisto granules, black pepper and some broken up spaghetti. I thought it looked a little thin, so added some dried potato (like Smash) flakes and it worked a treat.
Had a taste, it's lovely. And from thinking about it till it was ready to eat, was only around 35 minutes, thanks to my fabulous induction hob.
Now all I have to do is keep my hands off of it until this evening!
OH more able to taste food after the chemo and feeling a bit less sick so Chinese or Thai and a few drinks after football! Almost like normal.
So sorry to hear you've both been going through that horror, Kim, I hope he is well on the way to recovery.
I remember when my husband was going through the same, food wasn't a pleasure to him at all and he wanted only food with a strong taste or else it was like eating nothing.

Hope you enjoyed your meal!
Thank you! We did (one too many drinks, perhaps!).
We already have a good prognosis of 'durable remission' (got that at halfway scans which was unbelieveable) so can see some light which is a minor miracle with lung cancer in itself. One more chemo session and then radiotherapy in the New Year which we've been told is just to ensure everything is gone because they won't even be able to see the tumour by then.
I hope your husband is fully recovered now. It's certainly life-changing, isn't it?

Glad to know it's all going good, Kim! May it continue.
Sadly it wasn't lucky for my own OH, we knew that from the start. But many thanks for your good wishes. Life changing, definitely.
It's lovely to know that it doesn't get everyone though.
Well, I couldn't resist, went to have a taste of my soup (just to make sure!) and ended up having a mugful (at least),
Yes, we're not complacent but we're certainly in the lucky camp for now and really appreciate that, although, oddly, it's sometimes hard to get your head around and we have to keep reminding ourselves of that.

kimindex - I'm glad your OH is more able to taste food now, and I hope the luck continues for you both. Good luck with the radiotherapy in the new year.
Tonight one of my best friends is coming over, and dinner is going to be stuffed red pepper with roast potatoes, mushrooms, courgette and baby corn.

Worst thing on earth. Thanks, Kim.
It's lovely to know that it doesn't get everyone though.

The soup sounds lovely! My recent soups have turned out pretty bland - just wet and warm, as my mum used to say.
Think I'll try this one next (tomato,rocket and feta):

or carrot and watercress

Thank you. I keep going to have a few spoons of it, at this rate there won't be any left for later!
I like the sound of the carrot and watercress soup, will keep that in mind.
(Keep on being lucky).
