Sweets and I have been sick with the "cold" for the past week. We keep thinking it will go away, but it slowly gets worse! Thankfully mine is not too bad this year, but my poor sweets has been through the ringer with the loss of voice for 2 days. Hopefully we will be back on our feet by this weekend!
We have been living on throat lasengaes, head cold pills (day and night), and tissues. After work we put on the sweats, grab the blankets and lounge out. I am not complaining about this, for I just love cuddling up with sweets and Tahoe by the fire watching TV.
Last night, I thought I would try the ol' remedy of Chicken noodle soup! I couldn't just open a can, so I made my own. Although I can't say for sure that I feel better today, I can however breathe out of my nose so that's an improvement. This is a simple and yet very satisfying soup for those that want the recipe:
(actually there is no recipe, i just put it together, but here is what I did and it was scrumptious)
boil 4 chicken breasts in water until done. then cubeboil 2 quarts chicken broth with 2 celery stalks sliced, 8 carrots sliced, 1 onion diced, ( or as many veggies as you want) until tender.
add 1 or 2 (depending on your preference of thickness, i used 2) cans cream of chicken soup
cook noodles separately ( i used wide egg noodles) as package describes
add chicken, frozen peas and corn into veggie broth and simmer 3 minutes
add noodles, salt, pepper, basil, and lemon juice (i always put lemon juice in my soup but you don't have to) for 2 minutes
Enjoy!
Yummy. Get well soon.
