Humph.

For me, the worst part about the onset of the head cold is not the fuzzy head, or the zapped energy, or the aches..  it’s the appetite question mark.

I fucking hate that -am I hungry-am I not hungry-I feel like munching-get any and all food away from me-I’ll bite your damn hand off if you take my snack plate before I’m done with it- feeling.

It tends to make one a touch cranky.

So like all sick people obviously do, I scoured Epicurious.com for a soup recipe my dear sweet husband could make me when he got home from work.  Because I’m sick, and I need soup.

This is what I landed on-  http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Colombian-Chicken-Corn-and-Potato-Stew-239925

He adjusted it to make it super tasty..  and it was precious.  It was.  He added poblanos, which gave it that smoky undertone but not necessarily spiciness.  And used pre-made chicken stock, so that made it a very quick and easy -I’m sick gimme something now- soup.

And he made it pretty.

And that makes the girl happy 🙂
