Chicken soup is good for the soul... and the weak tummy

Hey there friends!
Going to try and get back in the habit of writing more often, but no promises, I'm a busy girl!!!

Tonight in relation to my fall related soup frenzy... and my gurgly stomach, I made a delicious but SUPER simple chicken soup. Its probably too simple for the gourmet, but its a nice little treat for a weak stomach.

1 1/2 quarts water
1 cornish game hen (tiny chicken)
1/2 lb your favorite shaped pasta
2 chicken bouillon cubes
kosher salt to taste

in a large stockpot, place water and cornish game hen over medium high heat. Let boil until your hunger can stand it no longer (atleast half an hour, bones will be cleaned easier if you cook one hour or more).
Remove chicken from water and pull meat off bones. Place chicken back in water with pasta, boil for 7-10 minutes. Season with salt (and anything else you desire) to taste.

I was going to add some vegetables and things to this, but when it really came down to it, all that sounded good was the chicken and the pasta and the broth, so I stuck to that. Its a little on the bland side (and I added a bunch of salt to make up for my no sodium bouillon cubes) but its just what a weak stomach needs.

Thats all for now! Happy cooler weather everyone!

CHEERS! LiA
