Chicken soup




I hate being sick.

The day before winter break I somehow caught the plague. Currently, I am confined to my bed, surrounded by the wonderful humidifier, a mammoth mountain of used tissues and a sea of cold medicine boxes and syrups. In a few days my sister come home for the holiday. I'm so excited to see them! It's been months since I've gotten to spend time with Mary and Jessica. I just hope I don't infect them!

Anyway, on the note of family, my kind and loving mother just made me homemade chicken soup featured in the photo above. She chopped up fresh veggies, including carrots, celery, onions and parsley, and sprinkled them in the vegetable stock. As a cardiac rehab nurse, she is constantly trying out new low sodium recipes for her patients. This soup was fantastic and healthy. Mom added an assortment of seasonings rather than salt to give it a kick. I'm going to get her recipe so you guys can try it yourselves!
