Friday Recipe: Catherine's Spicy Chicken Soup

I have no idea how this will make me healthier or get me through this aweful cold season, but I have to say, once I could stand to be upright & functional for longer than 30 min at a time, this was a delicious soup!

Catherine's Spicy Chicken Soup from AllRecipes.com...photo from there, too. One day I'll take my own but they never look as nice as the ones from the site.
