Eating Our Way Healthy

So, 28 days ago we caught a cold... then it turned into walking pneumonia.  The kids and I finished our antibiotics days ago... and we all still sound like crap!  We're a lot better then we were... but this annoying cough still lingers.
Overnight, the temperature here dropped by nearly 30 degrees... so I thought what better way to spend the colder day then by cooking, smelling and finally... enjoying some home made chicken soup!

We just had a whole chicken for dinner the other night, in which all we ate were the two legs and breasts.  So rather than waste the rest... I threw it in the big pot of water and boiled it for a few hours with some garlic, onion, salt and pepper a couple bay leaves... carrots and celery.  No rice, noodles or potatoes in this batch!  Most of it will be broth, so I'll take a good portion of the broth and freeze it for future cooking for all things that call for stock.

And the remainder will be eaten tonight for dinner as soup.  Bon Appetito!

A good, homebody recovery day!
