"Bacilli swarm within my portals
Such as never conceived by mortals,
But, breed by scientists,
Wise and hoary
In some Olympian laboratory.
Bacteria as large as mice
With feet of fire and heads of ice,
Who never interrupt for slumber
Their stomping elephantine rumba."
--- "The Common Cold," by Ogden Nash.
"Very Easy Homemade Chicken Soup"...
1 whole raw chicken with skin or 1 package raw chicken parts
A few tbs. or more of wet chicken bouillon stock mix from a jar
A few cans mixed vegetables
Garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper
A box of elbow macaroni
--- In a large pot, boil the chicken, minus the giblets, till the meat falls off the bones. Remove chicken from the pot, save chicken water. Remove chicken skin and bones from cooked chicken, break meat into pieces, set aside. Bring chicken water to a boil, add macaroni, stirring once or twice so the mac doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. Cook mac till done. Add a few tablespoons of chicken bouillon stock to the mac and chicken water, to taste, sprinkle in onion powder and garlic powder and pepper, to taste. Add cans of mixed vegetables. Add cooked chicken meat. Serve with crackers. (This soup keeps well in the frig, or you can freeze it. It will be better the next day when the flavors have melded.)
