Home Sick

What better to make on a windy, cold Tuesday when both you and your husband are home sick than chicken soup? I have failed several times at making my own stock (it never tastes like anything). So, I opened a can of chicken broth, dumped in garlic, onion, carrots, pepper, egg noodles, rosemary, a bay leaf...and yesterday's leftover pork tenderloin.

It took about 30 minutes, and was the best "chicken" soup I've ever made. John's already feeling so much better! OK, that part's not true.


It remains on my to-do list to perfect chicken soup (ya know, with actual chicken) and mashed potatoes. Soon...
