Gluten Free One Pot Chicken Noodle Soup -- I Need You Right, Right Now!!!
I'm back, y'all!!! Early this month, my entire life, including my food blogging routine, came to a screeching halt. Mark and I both came down with a virus from Hades that put us both down for the count.
This wasn't just a little sickness that made us feel a little under the weather, but let us still function throughout our day. Nope. This was a BEAST of a virus. One that made every muscle, bone, and joint in our bodies ache. One that gave us the 'I didn't know it was humanly possible to sneeze that many times in a row without straight dropping dead' gasps and groans. And, one whose fever made us screaming hot and shivering cold at the exact same time!!
This crazy virus also had a mean cough and sore throat that gave us both a Darth Vader-like voice for days and days. And, it made everything we put in our mouths taste like we just pulled it out of a dumpster. The food felt like cardboard going down on the good days, and sandpaper on the bad days.
Man, did we ever get it!! True to form, Mark bounced back first. But, sadly, I didn't fare as well. I'm actually still recovering after almost 14 days of sheer misery. It was 14 days of torture, 14 days of eating mainly cereal out of a box, and 14 days of NOT cooking much at all that tasted like my usual good eats.
To tell you the truth, I usually can't cook when I'm sick. I generally turn everything that I attempt to cook into an embarrassing mess that I wouldn't serve to my worst enemy. (Shameful shake of the head.) So, either Mark cooked, or we ate out of boxes. (Embarrassed shrug.)
However, during one of the very worst days of my sickness, I had a stroke of culinary recipe development genius!! I was standing in the kitchen, staring at a pack of chicken thighs, and several other soup ingredients that I suddenly just knew would taste great together. And, since I didn't know how long I would feel well enough to cook, I decided that it all had to go in one pot, right, right now.
So, this is how the birth of this gluten free one pot chicken noodle soup came into existence. We needed something hot, something nutritious, and something that was not heat-and-served out of a box.
