I found this recipe through a friend of a friend decades ago. I won’t bore you with the back story because nobody likes a chatty food blogger, but let’s just say it’s become a staple in my house when someone is feeling unwell—usually me.

When you’re by yourself, and you get sick, there’s no one there to check on you or bring you a cup of tea. So, I always order a grocery delivery with things that I know will make me feel better, including what I need to whip up a batch of this soup.

It only takes a few minutes, which is great if you feel like you’ve been pulled through a knothole backwards.

You can make it nourishing, or you can kick up the heat to help loosen up a real whopper of a head cold. Because it’s so easy and quick, it’s a great way to shower a little love on someone you care about when they’re under the weather, too.
