Chicken Noodle

I'm sick. My throat feels like it's been roughed up by a nail file. And when that happens, there really isn't anything better than chicken noodle soup - good thing it was on the menu for tonight.

I love this version by Nigella Lawson. The recipe is for one but I make the following modifications for the whole family. It's way more interesting than regular chicken noodle

Chicken bone broth from the fridge (the better part of a half gallon jar), chicken in the instant pot (cause no one defrosted anything. again.) Throw 4x soy sauce and sherry in with the broth (instead of reducing it with the chicken). Add 4x the ginger.  Skip the corn and the spinach. Two Fresno chilis diced and whatever green onion is around. Dice the chicken and add it too.

Because Roo had a concert tonight I put everything in the pot except the noodles and peas and let it sit for a couple of hours while we were gone. Ten minutes to bring it back up to a boil to add the noodles (I used ramen tonight) and snap peas. 

Dinner at 8. Perfect for a cold, wet, snowy, sick night.
