I actually slept all night last night. Whee! The couple of nights before that, I could only sleep 2 or 3 hours, then I'd wake up for an hour or two, then back to sleep. It was pretty surreal. Today I got together enough energy to throw some stuff in a pot and make chicken soup. Not that I particularly LIKE chicken soup, but it's one of those things you're supposed to eat when you're sick. I took the same approach I did to the veg soup, and modified it enough that I enjoyed it okay. If I can get enough energy to go out and get some lemons, I might add a bit of lemon juice to the next bowl. Sounds weird, I know, but I adore Avgolemono (sp?) which is a greek chicken soup with lemon, so what's to lose?

I was supposed to go to Livia's for dinner tonight but I am absolutely not going to have the strength. Pitiful. I've been awake a little over two hours this time, so I'm about ready to hit the sack again.

Sopa de Lima is another tasty way to doctor up chicken soup. I really like it. (And I also adore Avgolemono soup.) Basically you just include lime juice, tomatoes, and corn in a chicken veggie soup. Maybe a few black beans - not too many or it turns into a bean soup. Bottled lime juice, canned tomatoes, frozen corn -- you can have the ingredients hanging around for as needed. Google on it and you should come up with a bunch of recipes to give you ideas, if you're interested.

Yum-- that sounds good. Chicken soup always seems greasy to me, and the lime and tomatoes would help that. I used a lot of mushrooms in mine and it's okay, but that sounds way better.
Thanks!
