Being the awful wife that I am, I passed my god awful sickness on to my husband this past week. I knew he would eventually catch it, but I was hoping he would make it through the weekend before it hit…the weekends are the busiest nights at the restaurant, and to make matters worse, it was Raleigh’s Restaurant Week.
Whenever you are sick, do you crave certain foods? I always crave grilled cheese, instant grits, and root beer. Nate wanted chicken noodle soup, a hot dog, and cole slaw. What do you crave when you are under the weather?
So, Nate sounded pitiful and all he wanted was chicken noodle soup. Wifey to the rescue! One word can describe this soup, delicious. Whether your taste buds are shot to hell because of a cold or if you are the lucky caretaker with a fully functioning palate, this soup is awesome. The creaminess helps you feel more full, unlike the usual watery chicken noodle soup. This is day 3 of leftovers from this soup, and I have gladly brought it to work for lunch…again!
As a side note, this recipe makes a whole pot of soup. We had 2 heaping bowls, 3 Tupperwares, and more in the freezer. Even though this recipe is already halved, you may choose to cut it in half again!
