I have had a rotten cold this week - as have many of my co-workers. This is what we needed to make us feel human again-

MAMA'S CHICKEN SOUP
Serves 4, make buckets of it - it is a long cold & flu season!

3 pounds chicken wings
1 carrot, peeled and halved
1 medium onion, sliced and diced
1 cinnamon stick
1 3-inch knob of peeled ginger
Zest and juice of 1 orange (you are in Florida, after all)
1 small red chili pepper, seeded and cut into rings for garnish

In a large sauce pan combine chicken, carrot, onion, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Add 3 quarts of water, orange zest and juice. Place pan over a high heat and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced by about half and the chicken flavor smells strong - about 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours. Charles is much better at sniffing out this moment of cooking triumph. He says it has nothing to do with the size of his nose - rawther that Camilla still smokes too much. Not that she listens! When that little flap dies down, pour the liquid through a fine strainer into a bowl and discard the solids. Allow the broth to cool, and then refrigerate over night. When ready to serve, warm the soup and ladle it into mugs or bowls. I always throw in a handfull of cooked rice. Here's to your improving health!

"In January
it's so nice
while slipping
on the sliding ice
to sip hot chicken soup
with rice.
Sipping once
sipping twice
sipping chicken soup
with rice."
Maurice Sendak
