Foods to Eat When You're Sick
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chicken Soup
Get a big soup pot. We, of course prefer cast-iron
How much of each ingredient depends on how much you gonna
make. Remember intuitive cooking…talk about it.
Olive Oil
Minced Garlic
Onion
Carrots
Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
Salt / Pepper / Tarragon
- Put Olive oil in a pot
- Add minced garlic…the more the merrier…you’re sick anyway,
who you gonna kiss?
- Chop an
onion and Saute for a few minutes
- Add chopped celery
and lots of chopped carrots
- Saute again
- Add cut up
chicken. Boneless, skinless breasts, if you’re watching you’re fat intake.
- Boneless
thighs, if you’re not…so much more flavor.
- Saute til chicken
is done… adding salt, pepper and good amount of dried tarragon.
- Add Nice quality
chicken stock…enough to create a soup-like consistency. Use your brain.
That’s it! If you want noodles or rice add it. I like to
precook them, cause otherwise the soup gets too starchy.
If you’re sick, this soup tastes ever so much better if
someone else makes it for you. You can quote us on that!

Pezole (Pesole)
This is a good luck
dish for New Years Eve in Hispanic cultures. Its good. It's what my dad
wanted for his 81st birthday…not the recipe…just me to
make it!
Here’s the recipe:
Big cast iron pot again. Make sure the chicken soup is put away.
Saute: Minced garlic, and onions
Add: Ground turkey and cubed pork, either from tenderloin or chops
Cook: Until meat is done
Add: 2lbs. roasted, peeled, chopped green chilis, hot
2lbs. roasted. Peeled, chopped green chilis, mild
2lbs. Posole or Hominy
All these are from frozen and can go in frozen or thawed. By the time this is done, it won’t matter.
Add: 28 oz. can tomatillos, drained and chopped
14 oz. can chopped tomatoes, undrained
28 oz. chicken broth
Now cook. Simmer for a few hours or til you go to bed. Let it cool on
the stove a bit and then put it in the fridge in the pot, when you go
too bed. Next morning, get it on the stove again. This is all done
covered, stirring occasionally, to keep from sticking. This can go on
for a few days, the more the better. By day three this has reached
nirvana EAT!
