I whipped this up last week when I was under the weather with a sinus infection/upper respiratory/fever thing. I had no appetite, but needed something warm and comforting, and this did the trick. (Oh, and my family didn't leave me any leftovers, either! Thanks a lot, guys!) I used frozen home-made chicken stock with chicken harvested from a small fryer, but in a pinch, canned broth and chicken might work, too. Any short pasta would be fine. Ingredients:
2 quarts chicken stock |
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken (or more to taste) |
2 carrots, peeled and sliced |
1 zucchini, diced |
1 celery rib, sliced |
8 ounces egg noodles or 8 ounces elbow macaroni |
Directions:
1. Place broth, chicken, carrots, zucchini, and celery in a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the veggies begin to soften.
2. Add noodles and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Ladle into a large mug (that you can hold and sip in bed!) and serve with saltine crackers.
3. Feel better!
