For a sick friend in a far away land…
Chicken Soup!
Heck it’s good for everybody—soothes the soul and is just plain delicious! This has been reprinted from The Road letters, and yes I do have the authors permission!
The memories this soup conjures up…
Being with my grandmother as a small boy, standing on a step-stool, while she or my aunt made the soup, or at the dinner table with the entire extended family enjoying each others company, or on cold nights with a fire in the next room reheating a frozen Polly-O container full of the liquid gold with some orzo, or the delight on the faces of the friends I’ve since made it for… I know I’m not alone in these memories because everyone that was lucky enough to have been served my grandmother’s chicken soup (and there are MANY) knows exactly what I’m talking about and has their own memories to recall…
