While I have been lounging on the couch in a haze of meds, recovering from having my wisdom teeth extracted (yes, this late in life), Joe has been making and handing me some amazing food I can still eat while recovering. His parents sent recently sent us a great supply of homegrown garlic, onions, squash, potatoes, and canned tomatoes and I’m pretty impressed by how he managed to make use of them in these soups.
This Roasted Garlic and Potato Soup with Rosemary is absolutely delicious. The garlic adds such a strong, beautiful flavor to the soup. I think I prefer this over the potato leek soup we have made before. It has a thick consistency and gravy like flavors. It’s also pretty simple and quick to make. Here is the recipe Joe used, minus the rosemary which can go in towards the end.
This Golden Nugget Squash Soup with Apple and Sage has all the fall flavors I love. I wasn’t sure if I would like it as much because it has cinnamon and apple in it but it is definitely some of the best squash soup I’ve had. Here is the recipe for it.
My favourite of the three soups from this past week is this Creamy Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup. Probably because I had this the first day I could eat something solid and it was paired with an English Muffin Bread Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Here is the recipe for it.
Besides mashed potatoes, yogurt, and eggs, we have also been enjoying a lot of milkshakes – minus the ice cream. I love this concoction of fresh mangoes, cardamom, and milk:
This works well with bananas too. Really refreshing and very helpful in taking away that feeling of nausea from the antibiotics and pain meds.
So, here it is – my wisdom teeth diet. I thought it was going to be bland and dreadful but I’ve really enjoyed it while healing. Fingers and toes crossed for a less stiff jaw and no dry sockets.
