Medicine Soup

My sister has a wicked cold, so I decided to make her some homemade soup. My standard recipe starts with bay leaves, carrots, onions and celery. I chop and sautee them in a little olive oil to start. And I use chicken broth (the easy kind, from a box or a can). Hey, I think that's a pretty good effort for a vegetarian.

In this batch of soup I decided to throw in a bunch of garlic (a natural antibiotic) and a lot of dill (good for an upset stomach).

The house smells divine. Let's hope the Medicine Soup does something to make her feel better.

Rachel Ray, eat your heart out. I made the soup in 30 minutes or less.

So how is your sister doing?

She's better, but still coughing a lot. Spreading germs back to me, her doting older sister. Well - we share everything, both the good and the bad.
