Elle's Kitchen: Chicken Noodle Soup

Is It Food or Is It Medicine?

Today I had to bring my son

home from school because he

is very sick.  He was too sick to

even walk from the dorm to

the cafeteria.  This is what I

always make when someone

is sick in our house.

I got this recipe from my friend

Susan, we have each tweaked it a

bit but both agree the nutmeg

makes it!

Ingredients:

2 Tabl. Olive Oil

1 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

2 scallions, chopped

3 medium carrots, diced

2 stalks celery, diced

2 cups cooked chicken, cubed

1 1/2 cups uncooked egg noodles

1 Tabl. fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 Teas. freshly ground nutmeg

1/4 Teas. ground pepper

49 1/2 oz. can chicken broth

Heat oil in a soup pot

over medium high heat. 

Add garlic, onion, carrot,

scallion and celery and

cook for 4 minutes,

stirring occasionally.

Stir in remaining ingredients.

Heat to boiling: reduce heat.

Cover and simmer for 15

minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve with love.
