I awoke this morning, to a sick husband so I decided nothing does a patient with a sore throat better than a hot bowl of soup!
I started out with a basic can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup which I made on the stove (This is ALWAYS a better option than nooking food in the microwave ladies!) Sure it may take a few extra minutes, but things truly do taste better plus you get the added benefit of the scent of whatever you may be cooking filling your home which is ALWAYS a plus. I love the smell of hot soup brewing on a cold winter's day! Of course I added my own touch to this old favorite, by adding in a dash of crushed black pepper, basil and fresh parmesean.
To go along side of it, I cut up a deli hoagie roll into 4 slices. I brushed on a little olive oil and butter, used my handy dandy pepper mill and some fresh basil and each piece got a generous slab of jalepno cheddar from our local deli. Not only is this a nice alternative to saltine crackers but it is easier for a sick patient to swollow with a sore throat. Plus, it adds that extra touch of TLC every hubby needs to get feeling better!
After just a bite, it was easy to tell my food critic gave this meal 2 thumbs up!
Next time you are feeling under the weather, take a few extra minutes and freshen up the ol' "soup and crackers" routine by adding a dab of this and a dash of that. It REALLY does make this meal more exciting and way better looking. And every good cook knows, presentation is half the battle!
Stay warm out there.
