But I like things spicy, and I figured it would clear his sinuses a bit if I had a little fun with it.
So I invented this, not that it's very inventive, but we really enjoyed it and made it three more times that weekend.
Not that you care, and not that anybody reads this except my sister - But she's sick now too and so maybe her husband will make it for her and the kids! So here's the recipe:
Sauté 1 small onion, chopped coarsely
add 2 celery stalks, chopped coarsely
once the onions and the celery are nice and sweaty, add
2 cups boiling water (with 1 chicken broth cube - or veg cube, or both)
and 1 cup of medium seashell noodles, PRE boiled and strained (10 minutes)
then add: (my pinches are fairly generous)
1 pinch ground coriander
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
2 pinches of sea salt
2 grinds of pepper
1 pinch chili peppers (I put quite a bit.. spicy)
1 pinch oregano
1 bay leaf (remove before serving)
Gently stir everything all together, let it simmer a bit,
then pour into bowls and serve with crackers (or not, if sore throats are involved).
