If your mom isn't available to make you chicken noodle soup, this fast and easy corner-cutting version is a great alternative for a feel-good dinner
By cutting a few corners, you can have a homemade bowl of chicken noodle soup for dinner
I caught a nasty cold and since my mom lives almost 1,200 kilometres away I decided to take a break from my pity party and make myself some chicken noodle soup. I’ve barely left my bed, let alone my apartment, for the past few days so I didn’t get too fancy, and cut a few corners by buying organic, reduced-sodium chicken broth and a rotisserie chicken.
Everything else I already had at home. I was even able to use the uncooked noodles and fresh thyme I had left over from making beef stroganoff a couple of weeks ago, and I also had some carrots left over from my last batch of carrot cake.
The Globe and Mail’s nutrition expert, Leslie Beck, says that garlic “appears to boost the immune system and fight viruses” but that “raw garlic seems to work better than cooked garlic.” So if you’re looking for some serious cold-fighting power (and you’re not concerned about your breath) add the garlic towards the end of cooking instead of at the beginning.
This recipe serves 8.
