Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup is good for the heart, good for the soul….good when everyone in our household has been sick for 6 days straight!

Poor little Kenya got a bronchial infection at one of the kid play spaces (a.k.a “germ factories”) I take him to and within days everyone in our house was down for the count. Since there’s little you can do medicinally for kids Kenya’s age, out came my homemade ginger-lemon-honey tea and my personal favorite, chicken noodle soup.

Almost nothing seems to taste good when you’re sick, but there’s something about chicken noodle soup that always makes you feel better. For years doctors have deemed it medicinal, and I have to agree. I always considered my recipe for chicken soup fast, easy and fresh, but I became a true pro at making it day after day this week to feed my “patients”. Chock full of carrots, celery and leeks, I got smart this time and made a huge batch for the freezer for the next time we’re all down for the count.
