Chicken Noodle Soup

For hundreds, and perhaps even thousands of years moms have been making chicken soup for their ailing loved ones. The wives tale, that chicken soup can help you get over a cold or the flu quickly, has actually been proven in recent years. Apparently, it's the marrow in the bones of the chicken that provide essential nutrients needed for fighting off the flu. To make this chicken soup, it is necessary to boil an entire chicken, bones and all for about 4 hours in order to get that marrow out of the bones. It may sound less than appetizing but you probably actually eat marrow regularly. That is where Jello comes from. Only that store bought gelatin has been stripped of all its redeeming qualities. Trust in the goodness of the earth. Next time you or your family get sick, try this time honored recipe. But, you don't need to wait for the flu, it tastes wonderful when you are feeling great as well. The recipe for homemade noodles follows this blog.
