Darling Hubby has been feeling off for the past few days, his boss lady and her little people crew had a run through of sick just around the Holidays and into the past week. I had been trying to let him take it easy over the Holidays so as not to bring home a lovely bug, but apparently that just put it off to this week. Today he finally called in sick, after being up a few times last night with a splitting headache. This is a man who would sleep through an earthquake. Rules are rules, and if he stays home from work, he has to stay in bed, although he has slept most of the day anyway. With the upset tummy, and the need for him to get better right away. I made Onion Garlic Soup, which he wolfed down.
The key to Onion Garlic Soup is some Good Broth, since Yule just passed us, we had some Turkey broth that the household had made up and I popped into Muffin Trays in the Freezer. I had been meaning to pull them out for a week or so and plop them into a Ziplock for quick easy Broth by the cup. This forced me out of excuses. So now I have a giant Ziplock full of Broth in the Fridge and another arsenal in my Vicious Attack on the Evil Sickness. Our first Birthing Class is tomorrow, so I hope this nips the nasty in the butt.
Onion Garlic Soup
This is for a Tiny Pot about 2 bowls.
Onion - a Full one cut chunky
Garlic - a couple cloves or more depending on the recipient
Broth About 2 cups ish
Quick Oats
Saute up the onion in a pot, add the Garlic, add the Broth let simmer until even temperature. Serve in bowl sprinkle with Quick Oats. Feed to Sick Person.
I have also been forcing him to drink Take Charge Tea : Elderberry echinacea rosehip hibiscus blend. I think it is sweet and love the flavour, he finds it a bit sour. Of course he takes 3 teaspoons of sugar in his regular tea. So it is a bit of a force on this one. I will add honey on the next glass.
Hope hubby feels better soon. Love your scone recipes, I'll have to give them a try one night this week
