ugh!!! The first bite of the flu at our house!

My youngest son stayed home sick from school on Friday...and then stayed in bed all weekend! We made lots of homemade soup that tasted old fashioned, but took less than 30 minutes to make. I'm not sure you can count this as 'healthy', but it always makes us feel better on cold days and when fighting off the nasty colds we tend to get when the weather changes. It almost made up for missing 2 football games and a shopping trip...almost!

1 Can of boneless chicken or turkey, in broth added to a saucepan with 3 C of water. Slice 2 carrots and 2 stalks of celery into the water and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and add 1-2 C of rice and cook according to the type of rice you are making. Here's the kicker...add 1 stick of butter and salt and pepper to the pan before serving. Great with a peanut butter sandwich or a crusty bread.
