  • Almost Instant Chicken Noodle Soup

    Almost Instant Chicken Noodle Soup

    It started yesterday, very subtly. At first I thought my throat was just dry, as the heat had been cranking at work. That seems to happen when the weather changes. One day is freezing cold (like Monday was) and they turn on the heat. Then the next day is warm and seasonal. Which is lovely…
