Cold and Flu Remedy: Soup Recipe
AAAACHOOO!
"Bless You!"
"Thank You!"
My city suffers from the cold and flu, and yours may too, as they say this is the "cold and flu season."
My buddy, Chuck, the RAGBRAI guy, called me today and he sounded terrible--scratchy voice, no sleep, feverish. So, I whipped up my world famous homemade chicken soup to help him feel better. He had it for lunch and loved it. He feels better already.
Please, leave a comment below, if you try it, because I'm taking a survey on the results. Thanks and enjoy!
