Trying new ways to care for your well-being, like making healthy recipes, may help you move forward productively in your myasthenia gravis (MG) journey. Something as simple as a new MG-friendly meal may support your wellness goals.
This minestrone soup recipe was submitted by Blair,* a person living with MG. Blair enjoys cooking and baking for others, but acknowledges the difficulty that may sometimes come with cooking with MG. They share that when they’re experiencing MG symptoms such as fatigue or muscle weakness, they often turn to a meal that is easier for them to make and tastes good—their delicious, MG-friendly minestrone soup!
I love my recipes because they’re easy and taste wonderful. We probably have the soup once or twice a month.
Blair also shares ways they are able to make cooking and prep easier for them. One tip is buying frozen or pre-chopped ingredients to reduce chopping if they’re experiencing weakness in their hands. Another tip is if their hands are feeling fine, they chop vegetables into smaller pieces which may make them easier to chew or they cook the veggies longer to make them softer.
