Since he is sick it might be better to use a chicken or beef broth base!. Milk sometimes does not agree with sickness!. Boil a potato and carrot cut up with broth!. In separate pan can be boiling noodles or pasta of choice!. When all tender , drain pasta and add to other pot!.Season lightly!. Of course use more potatoes and carrot for more servings!. Serve with crackers or cornbread!. If time doesnt allow there are some very good hearty soups now ready made!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like to make things that are easy!. This one has just enough heat to get their sinuses running a bit and get that ol' Mr!. Cold Bug outta their system:

1 lb ground beef
1 small chopped onion
2-3 slices of bacon, chopped (optional)

Brown these ingredients and drain off any fat

2 cans of VegAll mixed vegetables (undrained)
1 quart can or jar of tomato juice
1 can Rotel brand tomatos,undrained (for the unfamiliar, this is chopped tomatoes with chopped green chillies)

Pour those 3 ingredients into the ground beef!. Bring to a boil and simmer until heated through!.

You can add and of the following stretchers:

2 cups of cooked rice
2 cups cooked elbow or shell macaroni
1 cup cooked barley
2 cups cooked egg noodles

Chicken soup

1 leek
1 onion
1 parsnip
1 carrot
1 sweetcorn
1/2 cup small dried pasta
1 litre chicken stock
2 chicken breasts/chicken thigh fillets (i prefer thigh as breast can go dry)

Cut up onion and leeks and put in a heavy large saucepan with a little oil and a pinch of salt!. Cook on low until the onion has softened!.
Chop up parsnip and carrot into small cubes - approc 1 cm, add veges to pan!. Add chicken stock to pan, bring to boil and cook for ten minutes until veges start to soften!. Add whole chicken fillets, pasta and corn kernels (just use a knife to cut them off the cob)!. Simmer for 15 minutes then remove chicken from pan and cut into small pieces!.

Soup is now ready!. I cook the chicken whole as it stays moist this way and doesn't go dry and stringy!.
