Reboot Sweet Potato and Bok Choy Soup

I made this soup for dinner tonight. The recipe can be found on SparkRecipes. The only thing I didn't have was leeks but it was terrific without it. I have to be honest though, when I first put the bok choy in I didn't like the smell and thought it would be terrible but when I tasted it I really liked it. Since I'm going to try to do a juice fast the next 5 days I wanted my last meal of whole foods to be good. I was so afraid that it wouldn't be good but it was. Next time I would only use about half or a third of the bok choy though. It wasn't bad but I would just like the ratio of veggies to bok choy to be better.

You can see the soup before I put the bok choy in that's in the pan. You can see the sweet potato, carrots, celery, parsley, red potato (instead of leeks, I didn't have any) and red onion. I judge food on the aftertaste and this doesn't have a strong or bad aftertaste. It was just right. I did put in some thyme, salt and pepper. I think it was just the right amount for the batch I made. I'd say this was a success and I would give it a thumbs up. I'll make this again sometime.

The breakfast juice and the soup is the only things I've had today. I'll make a sorbet in a little while. I'm hoping I can do at least 3 juices a day for the next five days and no whole foods. I know I can do it if I put my mind to it. I start in the morning and will hopefully be able to do it through Friday.

I have really low energy again today and sore legs. I tried to take a nap but was too sore to sleep. I'm going to have to take some pain meds again today. I don't want to take the meds but I am really sore. I kept having to rest while making the soup and it didn't take that long to make.

David wasn't crazy about the soup but said I could make it again and he would eat it. I didn't know  he doesn't like sweet potatoes. I guess I could use a regular potato next time I make it. I'd be okay with that. It will probably be a while before a make it though just because I want to stay with raw foods as much as possible. The soup was pretty and tasted good but juicing and raw f&v is the way I want to go for now.

I better go take some medicine. I'm really hurting. I hope juicing will help with this.
