When you’re sick you need chicken soup

What a crummy way to spend a weekend! Yep, the flu has come to our house…first for John and now for me. He has always been a ‘sharer’.
Who’s hungry when you have an achy body and a sore throat?! All I could think about was chicken soup… you know the brothy kind that you don’t have to chew very much.. I went to the pantry to see if I had one of those little packets of chicken noodle they sell in the USA. No such luck. I opened my freezer and found a chicken back (I save them when I cut up whole chickens) so I took it out, hucked it into my soup pot with a diced onion, & garlic. About an hour later I took all the bits of meat off the bone, added a handful of mini star pasta, & corrected the seasoning. That was my supper and boy, I was thankful. I could have added that carrot I have in the fridge and other veggies… but I was too weak for that. Making my homemade chicken noodle soup, was almost as easy as opening a packet. I have enough for my meals today too. Ok… back to bed…
