COUSIN’S CHICKEN SOUP
This recipe was a joint effort. My cousin Sue
had been down with the common cold for better
than 3 weeks. After all the doctor visits and
medicine her doctor finally told her that she
needed some homemade chicken soup! Well Marlene
(our other cousin) called me to ask for a
recipe. I just didn’t have one, when we were
growing up we didn’t have soup. My dad liked
meat and potato meals, so that was what mama
fixed most of the time. Of course we had our
share of soup beans and corn bread. However you
know there is a difference between bean soup and
soup beans. We will talk about that later also.
So we called our cousin Carol, and between all
of us we came up with a homemade chicken soup
that is soooooo good. Anyway it seemed to do the
trick for Sue, she was up and at her usual self
in a few days, (we all call her Sergeant Sue).
Anyway the recipe is great and now my grand
children ask me to make it a couple times a
month! I hope you all enjoy this!

TRANSPARENT AND ADD THEM TO THE CHICKEN BROTH

EGG NUGETS AND SEASONING PACKETS, SALT AND

ABOUT 7 MINUTES. ENJOY!
