Depressed, run-down, and sick… so I made a big pot of soup for the whole week 🍲
Some days just hit harder than others. When your body feels weak, your energy is gone, and your mood is low, even the smallest tasks feel overwhelming. That’s exactly how I felt this week—tired, sick, and honestly just needing comfort. So instead of pushing myself, I did the one thing that always helps: I made soup.
Not just a bowl.
A whole pot.
Enough to last the week.
There’s something incredibly grounding about soup. The slow simmer, the smell filling the kitchen, the way it warms you from the inside out. It doesn’t rush you. It doesn’t demand perfection. It just quietly does its job—nourishing you, spoonful by spoonful.
This is the kind of soup you make when you need care but don’t have the energy to cook every day. Simple ingredients. No stress. Just real food that feels like a hug.
I love knowing that when I wake up tired, there’s already something ready for me. When I don’t feel like eating, soup goes down easily. When I need comfort, it’s there—warm, familiar, and gentle.
And honestly? Making it felt like an act of self-kindness. A reminder that even on low days, I can still take care of myself in small ways.
If you’re feeling under the weather, emotionally drained, or just exhausted by life right now, let this be your sign:
Make the soup.
Make extra.
Let it carry you through the week.
Sometimes survival looks like a simmering pot on the stove and knowing tomorrow’s meal is already taken care of ❤️
If you love comfort food like this, save this post—you’ll want it on the days when everything feels like too much.
