Chicken Soup

I came home for work today with a runny nose and soar throat - not feeling so great! The bad news was that my husband called and he was coming home sick too! Nothing like two sick people in one house.

I thought it was best that I start my evening with a nap. I slept for a few hours. When I woke up I realized that eventually one of us was going to have to cook something for dinner.

When I opened the regrigerator I didn't really see anything that I could make for dinner. I did notice that I had some carrots and celery. Ok, that sounds like the beginning to some kind of soup. I also found onion, corn and chicken broth. Which caused me to conclude - Chicken Soup!
