I am also on an incredible amount of painkillers -- so simple stuff would be very much appreciated.

    Lentil soup good because vegan. Boil some lentils make sure to wash them or whatever. Saute some onion, carrots, really anything you want. Add the spices you like like salt, pepper, chili powder to the veggies. If you want some carbs then dump in some rice in the veggies and oil coat them for flavor. Once the lentils are cooked dump in the sauteed veggies and rice. Cook until veggies soft and rice cooked. Also add oregano for flavor and press garlic into soup for spiceyness.

    This is my go to for soups hope you like it also hope you recover well. Hope you feel better. Also if you want add stock into soup but after lentils are cooked. Lentils need just water when boiling I think salt will mess it up. Also Also if you have a hand blender or immersion blender use it, if not mix a bit of it at a time in the blender.

    Sorry for double post but pancomido gave me this recipe, uses milk but you could probably use coconut milk if you want, here you go.

    Leek and potato soup! Sautee some leeks and onions in butter for five minutes with salt and pepper. Then add diced potatoes, water, veggie stock cube and simmer for like 30 mins. Then add half a cup to a cup of milk and blend together. If you don’t have a blender mash it all up. Tastes great, I ate loads over quarantine.

    2 limes 2 (4 inch) stalks lemongrass** 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or high-heat oil of choice), divided 1 medium shallot, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon grated fresh galangal*** or ginger 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro 3 cups vegetable broth 1 (14 ounce or 400 ml) can full-fat coconut milk 1 1/2 cups fresh baby corn, cut into 2-inch pieces 1 cup sliced shiitake mushroom caps 3 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 1 small crown) 2 tablespoons lime juice 4 chili peppers Salt to taste Fresh cilantro, basil and/or scallions, for serving

    Coat the bottom of a large pot with a tablespoon of coconut oil and place it over medium heat.

    When the oil is hot, add the shallot and cook it until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Add the garlic, galangal, and cilantro. Cook everything for about a minute, until very fragrant.

    Stir in the broth, coconut milk, baby corn, mushrooms, lemongrass and limes. Raise the heat and bring the liquid to a boil.

    Lower the heat and allow the soup to simmer for about 15 minutes, until the veggies are tender.

    Once the soup has simmered for about 15 minutes, stir in the broccoli. Simmer the soup for about 5 minutes more, until the broccoli is tender and bright green.

    Hope that isn't too much it's so worth it! Wish you a quick recovery!
