Sick - it's our turn

Joe is really sick and I'm slowly getting sicker. He did four things I've never seen him do: take a nap, make a doctor's appointment, call in sick to work tomorrow, and take another nap.

I made some amazing chicken soup. But now I just feel lousy. Weak and dizzy, stomach is not pleased. I'm a little sore; Joe is more sore than I am.

Okay, I'm done complaining for now. Here's the recipe for the awesome chicken soup (I made it up!)

• Cook (fry or bake) two chicken breasts and cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Simmer two chopped carrots, five chopped celery sticks, and half a chopped onion in a carton of chicken broth until almost tender (large pot).
  
• Boil 2 cups pasta in a second carton of chicken broth until al dente.
• Add chicken, noodles, and noodle broth to veggie mix. Simmer till tender.
• Add salt, pepper, and water to reach the flavor you desire.

The way I made it uses up two pots; one for veggies and one for noodles. I think next time I'll try to boil the veggies with the noodles and then add the chicken to simmer.
