Did I mention I really like soup?? This is actually the third time we have eaten soup this week. In addition to the Corn Chowder<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0I made the other night, I also made Pizza Soup. It’s Matt’s favorite thing that I make, he was feeling a little under the weather and deserved it. Soup is comfort food after all.<\/p>\n

I decided earlier this week that I would be making these two recipes Saturday. There has been a nasty virus going around campus, people are dropping like flies across departments and staying out for about a week. Matt’s area has seen a few cases and Matt started feeling the tickle in his throat Wednesday. I figured if he had it, he’d be in the middle of it by today and I would be starting it. Chicken soup would probably be the perfect food for both of us.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, we have both found that sometimes taking the day off when you first feel that tickle and sleeping as much as you can (not to mention a couple shots of Airborne) goes a long way to keeping you healthy. Matt took Wednesday off and slept well into the afternoon and it seemed to clear up. I am happy to report that I am also still sniffle free (::knocks on wood::). Luckily, chicken soup is good even when you’re healthy!<\/p>\n

I am counting this as two recipes because even on the website where I found it, it is two separate recipes. This recipe comes from Foodwishes.com which is a blog I discovered about 6 months ago. The unique thing about it is that Chef John does video recipes. I have actually recommended him to some guys I know that want to learn to cook because his recipes are simple and he explains them well. He is also a fan of bad jokes and puns, so there’s that.<\/p>\n

First up, the broth…<\/p>\n

Recipe: Roasted Chicken Broth<\/a><\/p>\n

\n(I forgot to take a picture of just the broth, so this is from the website. Honestly though, it did look just like this!)<\/p>\n

The broth, while time consuming, is simple. I don’t think I would roast a chicken again\u00c2\u00a0specifically\u00c2\u00a0for it, but I would certainly use any leftovers to make it. I loved the “surprise ingredient”, adding a tablespoon of ketchup to the broth. Simple but brings a lot to the table. After simmering for 3.5 hours and straining it… you add a few veggies, some chicken, and pasta to get….<\/p>\n

Once the broth is done, the soup comes together in about 20 minutes and is excellent. Chicken soup is a bit of a quest for me. I think I am the only one who remembers this, but when I was in High School, Jamba Juice sold soup in addition to smoothies. It was the BEST soup too, lots of veggies (including red bell pepper) and a ton of red pepper flakes. I think it was the fact it was spicy that I loved most, it was perfect when you had a cold. Ever since they did away with their soups, I have yet to find a soup that is as good as that one was. This is the closest I have found. (And yes, I added bell pepper and red pepper flakes to it.) It was delicious, so delicious in fact it\u00c2\u00a0achieved\u00c2\u00a0the highest honor that I can get from Matt, “I would say this is better than the one my Dad makes…” Something I have only achieved one other time in 8 years.<\/p>\n

After eating most of my bowl, curiosity got the better of me and I added some Sriracha to see how it tasted. Yep! That would completely be my go-to for a cold!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
