Husband is sick??? He doesn't want to eat and has not for the last 27 hours. Someone mentioned soup and he perked up a little bit. Of course, it was my job to make soup. I know he loves lemon. I know we are trying to go vegan. I also know we did not have some of the exact ingredients such as seitan, cornstarch (used arrow root), parsley (used kale, but lots of it), and veggie broth (used miso). It looks wonderful, is needing to meld flavors, and I think he is going to like it. He especially likes turmeric. I just got a bowl and like it a lot.
