Today was to be Eva’s orientation to Kindergarten at the Building Blocks for Pa Cyber School. She woke up at 6am with a temp of 102 😦 being she hasn’t been sick in a while Sara didn’t have fever reducer for her. She called me and I went to the Martin’s Grocery Store, thanks goodness for 24 hour stores!
I got everything to make homemade Chicken Noodle Soup, thanks to the nurse, mom and grandma in me! I got her 2 fever reducers..Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen..like her mother one by itself does not work for her fevers. We have to give the Ibuprofen and 2 hours later the Acetaminophen! Got vitamin waters, coconut milk (no dairy and it’s good for you) and potatoes!
Yes that’s right I said potatoes! When anyone has a high fever slice a raw potato and put the slices on the souls of the feet! If you cut on an angle 1 slice usually covers a small child’s foot. For an adult you have to use a few slices. Hold in place with socks. This has never failed anytime I have done it..warning the potato slices will be from a gray to black after the fever has broken! Repeat as often as needed!
Back to Eva. She had her Ibuprofen at 7:10am along with placing the potatoes in her socks. At 9:30 her temp was down to 98! Works like a charm every time! If the person is very sick it can take a little longer and you may have to repeat every few hours!
While the stock, made from the roasted chicken carcass, onions, carrots and garlic was cooking I made Eva her ‘slurpy noodles’, you know the ones you slurp up! Left the noodles out on a rack to dry a little until the stock was made.
Drying Noodles
After the stock was done I strained it and returned it to the pot. Seasoned it with fresh cracked black pepper, sea salt, onion and garlic powders, all the garlic gloves I cooked in the stock I mashed them and returned to the stock! Once it came to a boil I slowly added the noodles small handfuls at a time! Returned to a boil and reduced the heat to boil gently for 20 minutes.
Simmering Noodles
During this time I tore up the baked chicken.

After 20 minutes I added the chicken and cooked carrots. Simmered it slowly for 10 minutes uncovered. Then I covered it and removed form the heat another 10 minutes!

After the 10 minutes I served Eva up her ‘Homemade Chicken Slurpy Noodle Soup’ in her large Alice in Wonderland mug!

WONDERFUL!. I’m glad she liked it. She looks very “pink and precious”. A great topic to write about. My grandchildren don’t live close, but IF they did, I’d be doing the SAME thing! A VERY enjoyable read- the pictures are adorable- thanks for this peek into your life!
