What you need:
1 (10oz)Can of Tomato Soup
1 (10oz)Can of Cream of Chicken
1 lb of Pastina/Orzo (Stars, Alphabet etc)
4 TBSP of Butter
1 tsp Italian Seasonings
6 cups of water
How you do it:
In a LARGE pot mix everything except your pastina
Bring to a boil then add your pastina
Pastina will cook fairly quick but let some of the water boil out.
The consistency you want is porridge like, thick and creamy
Feel free to add sliced carrots or cooked chicken
Why it's good:
Ok, I know the combination sounds bazaar but it really works. The name Sick Soup is because my dad made it for us whenever we were sick. The tomato soup is a good source of Vitamin C which is great for your immunity and chicken is a natural decongestant. The soup itself also offers plenty of calories to give you energy and electrolytes to keep you hydrated. It's gentle on your stomach so you don't have to only eat bland rice or crackers. It really is an amazing little potion. For less than $4 you could feed a whole house of sniffles. My dad topped my bowl with Parmesan Cheese and a slice of bread and butter.
Enjoy, Mangia Tutto and Get Well!
