They always say that chicken noodle soup is good when you feel don’t feel well. I believe there has even been research into the benefits of chicken noodle soup. (sorry, no link)
Yesterday, a big cast iron pot sat on our stove making a healthy chicken stock. Last night with the addition of vegetables, herbs, seasonings, and other yummy goodness, the stock became a big pot of chicken noodle soup. (I used this recipe at The Urban Homemaker. I tweaked it a tad but followed it for the most part.)
Between the soup, Emergen-C, hot tea, a lot of water, and Mucenex, it appears that the remnants of this chest cold are leaving…finally!
A special thanks to my blog friend, Amanda for writing about Graceful Words where I was reminded of some good natural remedies.
By the way, the soup was so good that not one drop was left. The entire family gobbled it up!
Hoping that you have a blessed and healthy Thursday!
That soup looks yummy1 Hope you are feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteyour so sweet. Yes, I could eat up a bowl now myself:)
ReplyDeleteHang in there...it will soon be spring:)
Thanks, Lecia and Amanda. I did decide today to go on the doctor in the morning. I feel fine but this stuff just rattles around in my chest and head. Since I've endured almost six weeks, I figured that it was probably time. I need my singing voice back so I can sing & teach. However, I will say that I believe that I started feeling better after using the Emergen-C and chicken soup. When I feel bad, I will always reach for them. Hopefully it just won't get this bad next time.
ReplyDeleteAnd I CAN NOT wait for spring! I've had enough of this winter junk. Good thing our winters are short and mild down here!
I am glad to hear you are feeling better! I have heard, too, that chicken noodle soup is good for a cold. I am not sure what it is about it, but if my grandmother says eat it, i eat it! :) I pray for a complete recovery!! ~ Kristina
