This one made me tear up a little. The image of you loving through cooking for your dad is a beautiful one. Thank you for sharing this part of your story.

May your dad continue to grow stronger each day! I am an ovarian cancer "thriver" (for nine years!). This soup sounds yummy right now--and I know I would have really savored it when my appetite was nil. Thank you always, Maile. Your stories add so much to the recipes! Perhaps one day you might create a recipe book with the stories included!

Congratulations, Karen! I love hearing stories about people who have beat cancer and are thriving on the other side of it. Fabulous!
