Curry Chicken Noodle Soup

Welcome to Influenza Season!  So many of my friends have been falling to the upset tummies and aches.  I hope you all have considered getting a Flu shot if you haven't already.  Here, we are keeping our hands washed, flu shots have been received and we are taking a good dose of daily vitamins trying to stave off the "yucks" in our household. 

For those that are not feeling well or trying to get over this nasty business, this recipe goes out to you!  A good dose of  chicken soup is just what the doctor and your grandmother always ordered.  I put a new twist on our household chicken soup to the soul.  A little sweet curry and a pinch of tumeric helps boost the immune system to get you back on your feet!

So laddle up a bowl, curl up in a blanket, breath in the aroma and rest easy you are on your way to feeling better!

1 tsp tumeric
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp French thyme

Chicken Soup for the Soul

Happy Monday Everyone!!! Well here in Central Ohio we have another gray, rainy day.  I found myself looking for comfort in a bowl today.  Mondays are always a busy day at work and there is nothing like a hot bowl of chicken soup to take some of the work stress away.  Well that is, at least for about however long your break is for lunch!  So here is my quick and easy recipe to comfort in a cup or bowl.

Kelli's Chicken Soup for the Soul

48oz water
32oz box of chicken broth (I use the store brand organic)
1/2 cup orzo
2 12.5oz cans chicken or use 2-3 cups chopped up leftover chicken from a previous dinner
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 tbsp dried thyme
1 tbsp dried rosemary

Bring your broth and water to a boil and add your orzo.  Let boil for about 10mins then turn heat down to medim low and add the rest of your ingredients.  Let simmer for about 15mins and serve hot.  The great thing about this recipe is you can add more of less of everything on the list depending on how rich you like your flavors.

ENJOY!!!
