However, for the past two weeks, he's has been complaining of constant stomach pain. He finally went to see a GI today and he's scheduled to have a colonoscopy on August 14th.
When someone doesn't feel good, I always make Filipino soup. It's quick and very satisfying. I don't really measure when I cook (unless I'm baking) and I use whatever I have on hand.
In a boiling water (about 2 cups or just eyeball it), add tomato, red onion, ginger and thinly sliced beef and let it simmer for a while. Add green beans and let it boil. Season with salt and black pepper. I like to add sliced shrimps (if I have these available) and bring it to boil again. Finally, add spinach (or bok choy or napa cabbage) and scallions and take it off from the heat PRONTO!
And today's dinner... guess what? Another soup but it's the swordfish version. Tuna steaks would also be great for this.
Got any great soup recipes you can share?

I'm sorry to hear that Joey is still not feeling well. I wish him well!
As far as soup...I wish I could say I had a recipe, but unfortuanatley, I am not the cook around here. My hubby is. ;-)
Hope you have a good day.
The two of you are very blessed to have each other. I know he must love you even more for taking such good care of him. I will keep you both in my prayers.
Joey is one lucky guy! ; ) You are a wise one; the way to a man's heart and health is through his stomach and that soup is gorgeous! My stomach just growled as I sit here looking at it. Thanks for the cooking lesson. I will most certainly be trying this.
My prayers continue to our Mighty God. Blessing to you and Joey!
p.s.
I'm working on the meme for later in the week. XO
Hi Connie. We are all praying for your Joey. I love making soup from whatever I can find in the frig or pantry.
Good morning. I hope you have a good day and that Joey is feeling better. :)

You're such a sweetie! He has a true and valuable friend in you! I have acid reflux, and was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus years ago. So I have to stay current on those endoscopies, etc. My thoughts are with you both.
xoxo, Brenda
I'm so sorry your Joey is having these problems. I will keep him in my prayers. I'm sorry, I don't have a recipe for soup.
