I recently had Covid, for the second time. The last time was a year ago. This time, I was out of action for 3 days straight and for one week, I had absolutely no desire for food. After I recovered, I gradually lost my sense of smell and I have an altered sense of taste at the moment. I hope to recover fully.. soon.

This soup was something that helped me. It energized and comforted me. Not just me, it comforted my family as well – who were also affected.
