Gee Hoo (Green Soup)

Yesterday I made a big batch of Split Pea soup. I will be the first to admit that it didn’t look very appealing. But I knew it would taste yummy. My two year old, however, wasn’t very excited when I placed his bib around his little neck and realized that he was going to be served “gee hoo”.  Green soup, for those of you who don’t speak 2 year old gibberish…  So he threw a tantrum, and I removed him from the table and room. He returned to witness all of us, even the baby, enjoying our Gee Hoo. So he gave it a try. He ate a few bites, and said, “mmm, Mama,” but he didn’t want very much.

By the time dinner came around, he was super hungry, and since I already cooked earlier, I didn’t feel like making another meal. So we gave the soup a try.  He ate 2 helpings! He actually asked me for more gee hoo!!  He usually is a good little eater, so I give him hearty portions in the first place, and he doesn’t often ask me for more. So I happily obliged.  I love my little vegan boy!

  2. Thanks for your comment, Vivacious Vegan! I love making new blogger friends! Good to hear of another Midwesterner! We're about to move East, and I think my vegan ways will be a bit easier out there!
