Homemade Chicken Soup…for a cold winter night.

I consider myself an avid reader. I love to read the gory stuff though, like the serial killer books or the kidnapping books…and no I am not crazy. Those are just the type of books that peak my interest. I love a good Lisa Gardner, Chelsea Cain, Diane Chamberlain, J.T. Ellison, Elizabeth Flock…and my list goes on and on but those are some of the authors whose books I have read and I have read all of their books. I get excited when I know one of their books are about to be released. I seriously will plan my evening around it! LOL

I make a nice dinner, and do everything early so I can jump in my bed and settle in with my cup of sleepy time tea and my new book. Ah fun times. And yes I do love to go out like normal people do, I just don’t like doing the same thing every weekend, going to the same bars, or clubs and seeing the same people act crazy after having 2 drinks. Sometimes I just want to hang out around the house in my jammies and have some quiet time with a good book. I am currently ready Jodi Picoult – The Storyteller, what a heart breaker it is. If you plan on reading it make sur eyou have the box of klenex on had. What are some of your favorite books? And do you get excited over a new book by one of your authors new releases?

Onto one of my favorite dishes ever! Yes I said ever…I love a good chicken soup. I think hot and spicy chicken soup is the cure to well every ailment you have. Now I am not talking about no watered down, soup with a few scraps of noodles. I am talking about a hearty, loaded chicken soup with lots of starchy vegetables and dumplings and long noodles.

Anytime someone in my family so much as sneezes…I use it as an excuse to make up a pot of soup. Needless to say…they try not to sneeze too often around me or else I will make soup every day! If you have a cold, make the soup spicy so that it loosens up the congestion in the chest. And it makes you sweat out the cold, at least that is what I tell everyone! Ha.
