Digestive Tip

   I have had bad diarrhea for almost a week.  After several days of no improvement, I looked online and found out that I was supposed to be on a liquid diet until my stools formed.  If I had tried this earlier, I think that my condition would have improved several days ago.  Hopefully, this tip will help some one else.
    While ill, I made a fantastic soup.  I took six yellow squash (peeled and cut).  Then I covered them with water and boiled them until tender.  While the squash was boiling, I sauted minced chicken in butter.  When the squash was tender, I mashed them with a potatoe masher.  Finally, I blended the soup with a blender and added the chicken.  Season with butter and salt.  It was a great comfort food.  This soup could be made with or without the chicken.  My husband got the idea after eating a butternut soup at Whole Foods.

I peeled and cut yellow squash in about 1/2 pieces (about 6 cups), and steamed for 10 min. Then I threw squash, 1/2 stick salted butter and 2 Garlic cloves in my blender.... it turned out very very yummy! I have a Vita Mix, so it made it really smooth/ hot and frothy but any blender would make this a great soup. Or potato masher! Thanks again Sharon.Kelsey

Cool recipe!! Thanks for sharing! Will look for squash on Monday but I don't think it's the season here...I find that drinking hot water first thing in the morning and throughout the day really helps too. I got that tip from ayurvedic medicine.
