I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather and I really only have spices in my pantry so I walked down to the corner store and bought an onion and a can of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup.

• 1 (one) can Chicken Noodle condensed soup
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 dried red Chile peppers
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon basil
• 1 cap-full vermouth
• 1/4th cup diced onion

The only painful step was dicing the garlic and onion and having to use a separate dish to sweat them a little. I like to keep my onions bitter so I only threw them in after the smell of garlic filled the room. After throwing in the onions I immediately turned the heat off and mixed with the rest of the ingredients that were already warming on another burner.

Hope I get better.

p.s. if you have time, soak the dried chiles ahead of time. I got about three bowls of soup out of this. Of course, I ate them all by myself.
