Get Well Chicken Soup
I am an adult with CF. I was diagnosed at the age of seven. When I graduated high school, I attended college for business. After 18 months of boredom, I switched gears and transferred to a culinary school, where I graduated with honors. I worked for over two years in the food industry and continued my education by taking multiple nutrition and dietetics courses. I understand how food works in the body and what works for those with CF. I created this recipe because I LOVE chicken noodle soup when I am sick, but I cannot stand condensed versions! I usually make this large portion for my small family of three and share with others as well as freezing quite a bit so that I can easily reheat it when I get sick. When I run out, I make more!
