CHERi's Healing Chicken Noodle Soup


When my kids are sick, especially my girls, they request homemade soups, mind you they are grown now; each one wants a different kind. Soups they grew up eating at home!
One likes chicken noodle..  I used egg noodles instead of a pasta-type noodle.  My version has onions, celery and carrots.  Do note that this isn't  a very brothy-soup.  It’s meant to be pretty thick and hearty.  My family is very happy with it!
After you make this soup you can put it up in large canning jars or freeze some, keep some on hand for those days when you need some comfort food.
REMEMBER: Every Time I make soup I stir it clockwise with Love and put healthy thoughts into it!!


Chicken Noodle Soup

5 cups of water
5 chicken bullion cubes
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp parsley flakes
1 tsp dried thyme
2.5 cups cooked, shredded chicken (I use the leg quarters sometimes or a whole chicken depending on what's on sale)
1 package (12 oz) egg noodles (frozen) -- I even make homemade noodles which I will add to my blog
1 cup carrots, chopped into bite sized pieces
1 cup celery, chopped into bite sized pieces
1 cup diced onion(we like lots of onion, it cures illness, I used red onion in this batch)
1 whole Garlic, peeled and chopped(use lots of garlic)
1 large can cream of chicken or mushroom soup

You can make the cooked chicken however you want to.  You can even buy a rotisserie chicken from the store.  I use either whole chickens or a bag of leg quarters, just depending what's on sale  I like cooking something in the kitchen awhile on the days I am home and have the time, and it is quite fun to do!

Onto the soup.


1) In large pot, add carrots, celery, water, parsley, thyme, pepper, salt, bouillon cubes.  Bring to boil.
2) Add noodles, onions, chicken.  Bring to boil again.
3) Put lid on, reduce heat and let simmer 20 minutes til noodles are cooked.

Enjoy!  This makes 5-6 bowls of soup for us.  But we also ate the soup with sandwiches, so we didn't have the world’s biggest bowls.  I stored the leftovers in canning jars.  You can also freeze some. When I re-heated it, I did have to add a bit more water as those noodles really soak it up!

I actually like to double this whole recipe and that way I know I have some for those days when someone calls and says: "MOM, I'm sick, I want Soup"!

Ears-OLD WIVES TALES, SUPERSTITIONS, OMENS AND FOLKLORE

EARS While the superstition of burning ears dates back years, there is no real indication of where it came from. Many superstitions that still exist today date back to the medieval days and are often rooted in pagan religions or the church. In the case of the burning ears, it is said that if your ears are burning, someone is talking about you. Now if you want to know if they are saying good things or bad things, remember this " Left for love, Right for spite! ". If your right ear itches, someone is speaking well of you. If your left ear itches, someone is speaking ill of you. Pinch your ear, and the person talking of you will bite his own tongue. If the right ear burns, it is a sign that some one is thinking well of you; if the left ear burns, it is a sign that some one is thinking unkindly of you; but if both ears burn, friend and foe are fighting about you. - Pennsylvania. If your ears burn, people are talking well of you; if your ears are cold, the contrary. -...

  I have been making this wonderful Medicinal Pickled Garlic for years Here is the original recipe that I use. I want to share with you. I use this in recipes when I need some healing magick or just on it's own for real strength and healing. It is so good and so good for you. It takes awhile to peel all those garlic but it's well worth it, I separate each garlic into pieces and then I take a large knife and slightly smash each clove. makes it so much easier to peel each clove, I use each and every clove small and large and sperate them into the jar. Any honey will work and I buy Apple cider vinegar by the gallon because we use it for so many things. Medicinal Pickled Garlic  According to Gladstar’s book, “Garlic is the herb of choice in treating colds, flu, sore throats and poor or sluggish digestion… makes a potent internal and external antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial agent effective for treating many types of infection.”   That is some powerful stuff!...
