• 1 whole chicken
• 2-3 tbsp minced garlic
• 3 sticks chopped celery
• 1/2 onion
• 1 lb sack of egg noodles
• salt
• pepper

Boil the chicken in a big pot with all the ingredients above, except the noodles.

Cover and let simmer until the chicken starts falling off the bones. Stir occasionally.

Remove the chicken from the pot. Shred the meat from the bones and put the meat back in the pot. Simmer it while you skim the grease off the top. Give the chicken carcass to the cat (but do it out side or she'll drag it all over the house!)

Taste and season. Stir in the noodles. When the noodles soften up, it's ready to serve.

Comments:

I make this for all my sick friends and family members! It's very easy and they'll love you for it!

Properties:

This will help any cold or flu. The chicken broth boosts the immune system as does the garlic. Chicken soup is an old time cure for winter bugs. The funny thing is that medical science has now figured out that there are actually immune-system strengthening agents in chicken soup! The garlic will help break a fever. The heat will help clear out congestion. Besides, it's easy on the stomach and tastes great when you feel like hell. The is my own adaptation to an old family recipe (they didn't put in as much garlic).

Meditation:

While you are cooking this up, imagine the heat cutting through and boiling off the germs in the recipient's system. Meditate on good health and clear mind and body. Imagine old women and witches of times long past simmering up this brew on big kettles over open fires. You may be using a stainless steel pot over a modern stove, but you are continuing this healing tradition. You are about to serve chicken soup to a sick friend. That is nurturing, healthy and healing. You can be confident that this is magick that will actually do some good!
