Last week, I came down with a bad cold--the kind that really slows you down. In fact, I stayed home from work one day since I didn't have enough energy to get dressed, much less drive to work. As I lay in bed, (I wasn't hungry at all, mind you) I thought about food because that's what I do. I would have loved to have had someone drop off a steaming pot of chicken noodle soup at my front door but I knew that wasn't going to happen. So, at around 2:00 pm in the afternoon, I finally got out of bed to heat up a can of Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup, which really hit the spot.

Here is a traditional scratch Chicken Noodle Soup recipe that you could make for someone who is sick. Believe me, they will really appreciate your efforts. Here's another idea--make this soup on Friday, using what's left of your turkey carcass and meat (instead of the whole chicken the recipe calls for).
