Unfortunately, over the weekend I caught what is going around on campus. \u00a0It seems to be a pretty nasty cold: fatigue, cough, sore throat and LOTS of congestion. \u00a0I really tried to fight and nip it in the bud with Emergen-C and fluids, but here I am, miserable with three exams to look forward to. \u00a0And just like the cliche, I am finding comfort in some chicken noodle soup, specifically my mom’s. \u00a0But, I decided to tweek my mom’s recipe into a five dollar version and see what happens.<\/p>\n

This recipe is simple, fast and soothing, something any sick person can appreciate. \u00a0This recipe is also a bang for your buck because it makes a few servings. \u00a0With that being said: the freezer is your friend.<\/p>\n

Overall Thoughts: \u00a0This soup definitely does the job in terms of helping a sick girl out. \u00a0While making my way to Walmart, I did realize there are several different kinds of chicken broth with varying prices. \u00a0I recommend getting the small can of Swanson. \u00a0It’s low price and has 3 servings. \u00a0Also, when shredding the chicken, don’t be afraid to have larger portions! \u00a0I shredded the pieces a little too small and you can’t even see the chicken in the soup. \u00a0It’s in there..promise.<\/p>\n

Also, egg noodles are cheap, amazing and I love them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
