I’ve never been a HUGE soup person. It’s delicious, but I find it fills you up for the time being, but leaves me hungry soon after. That said, I don’t think I’ve ever consumed as much soup as I have recently.
My diet as of late:
Notice a theme? ![]()
I have been feeling completely nauseous for days and chicken based soups have never hit the spot so well. And it just so happens that I was sent coupons to try out Campbell’s line of healthy soups a while back.
First day I had the Chicken Tuscany, which I’ve had before and knew I liked!
Different than chicken noodle, it has white beans, and more of a “cream of chicken soup” taste to it. Delish!!
While babysitting one night, I brought along the can of Chicken with Whole Grain Noodles – easy and portable dinner! I like how they have whole grain noodles ![]()
And when I was starting to feel a bit better, I had a soup with a bit more zest to it ![]()
Topped with some chips and cheese of course.
I’ve always enjoyed Campbells soups in the past. I love how the “light” versions are light enough to be enjoyed as a side dish, snack or appetizer, but still with delicious flavor!
Of course, who only eats half the soup can, am I right? ![]()
They’re low in fat, packed with protein, and a decent amount of fiber (well some of them). And all 11 Select Harvest Light varieties are 100% Natural. AKA they contain no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. Real ingredients people!
Sure, the sodium is high, but honestly I really don’t pay attention to that at this point in my life (even though I should). Meh!
Thank you Campbells for providing me with some delicious soup during my sick days!! (Please note I was given coupons for the above soups to try and review).
I’m actually excited to try out some different flavors I’ve never had now.
Besides soup, I’ve also had quite a bit of bland toast.
And I went through a whole lot of Diet Sierra Mist. It’s really weird how such foods/drinks really do help you feel better.
I’m feeling better now thank goodness, but it was the weirdest thing. The way I knew I really truly was not feeling well was because I had ZERO appetite. Bites and thoughts of food constantly had me feeling sick to my stomach. I could only tolerate certain things at certain times (such as soup and toast!). That never happens to me. Even when I’m sick I can always still eat.
I could also sometimes stomach cereal such as this delicious granola I got cheap at Ralphs:
Yummmmm.
What’s you choice of food when you’re feeling sick/run down?


Ah man, I LOVE that PB granola!!
I tend to gravitate toward mushy foods when I am sick–scrambled eggs and oatmeal mostly.
oo i must try campbells! they only sell a few varieties over here.. nothing extensive!! when im feeling sick.. oats always help!
when im feeling sick…i guess it depends! sometimes ice cream, sometimes nothing! if it’s really stomach flu kind of sick i don’t want to eat because i know i wont ever want that food again… tmi? but otherwise i can usually eat when i’m sick!
glad you are feeling better!
this is a comment from something you posted a while back. you know the trader joes trek mix that you posted while back?? well, i went yesterday to buy some and then my dad treated me to trader joes today. well, i bought another bag. OMG, it’s so good and ADDICTING!!
it’s the simply almonds, cashews, and chocolate trek mix.
thank you for the tip taylor!!
omg i need to get that granola asap! peanut butter anything is my weakness! glad you’re feeling better! ginger and lemon always help me with stomachaches!
Hope you’re feeling better! Miss seeing your posts!
Unfortunately, the last time I got sick, I had MORE of an appetite! Those soups look so delicious- definitely perfect when you don’t feel well.
I’ve missed your posts! Are you doing OK?
hope you are feeling better!!!!
I miss you!
I hope everything is ok…I’ve missed your posts!
Are you O.K. I really miss your posts. Check in and let us know how you are doing.
Hope you are doing o.k. We really miss you and hearing about your life. Please update soon. Are you well?
Last time I was sick absolutely nothing at all sounded good. Seriously… nothing.
I need to figure out some sick-friendly foods in preparation for the impending flu season. o.O
(I also really don’t worry about salt at all… even though… I probably should. Ah well!)
I haven’t been sick lately but have been a Cambpell’s Select Harvest Soup fanatic
It’s so easy to heat it up and pair it with a sandwich, etc. and there are so many different flavor combos it doesn’t get old! I’m actually considering making a recipe using one aka adding some rice or potatoes!
peanut butter granola TOPPED with peanut butter? YUM!
