Sick again

So I have been sick again this week - I have no clue why this keeps happening! I exercise, eat healthy (as best as I can) and I still get sick. But this time it is worse! I caught the stomach flu -yuck! Luckily I made chicken soup on Monday right before I got sick and been able to keep my family and me eating healthy. However the 3rd day now, Matthew refuses to eat it AGAIN. But here is my recipe - it was so easy and good. Try it and freeze the left-overs (specially when you really need it).

Chicken Noodle Soup
From Tyler Florence

Makes 6 servings

1 store bought deli roast chicken
2 quarts (4 cups) cold water
2 carrots, washed and sliced into circles
3 celery ribs, roughly chopped
1 small onion
2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
4 springs fresh thyme, leaves only (I used dried)

Salt and Pepper
2 cups uncooked noodles (I used whole wheat pasta)
Juice from ½ lemon
4 springs fresh parsley, roughly chopped

Place the first 7 ingredients in a large stockpot and bring to a boil. Reduce and simmer for 20-25 minutes; remove chicken. Shred meat, discarding the skin and bones. Season the broth with salt and pepper to taste; add noodles and chicken. Bring to boil; reduce the heat and simmer until noodles are tender. Add lemon juice and parsley; serve.
