He is miserable
Nothing tastes good
And it is time for the complaints to come rushing forth from his flapping lips!
I have been a good spouse (good, mind you, not great, this from the flapping lips aforementioned) and I am trying to help him feel better with special "loving spouse delicacies".... so this is what I came up with
Sick Husband Soup
Start with
2 heaping tablespoons of "Lu's Yummy Goodness" or Better Than Boullion Chicken Base
Added to 6 cups of boiling water and whisk to blend well!
Then add 1 heaping teaspoon of minced garlic
And Rosemary, thyme and sage, chopped fine
Salt and Pepper to taste
Add your favorite premade Ravioli or Tortellini and cook to package directions
I used Buitoni Spicy beef and sausage raviolis
Next I washed, cleaned and chopped a bag of this
and added it to the simmering pasta
Add a can of Fat Free Evaporated milk
and 4 to 5 chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil and a 1/2 teaspoon of the oil
Reduce heat to simmer, and check salt and pepper and reseason if necessary.
In the meantime toast in the broiler some Italian Bread (watch this closely or you will burn the first batch like I did!)
To assemble, ladle soup in the bowl, top with toasted bread, garnish with parmesean cheese, chopped green onion, red pepper flakes and more cracked black pepper and serve to the sick spouse!
Complaints have stopped and El Jeffe's tummy is full, however he did say it was too "herby" but he ate it!
Good luck and I hope it works for you too!
El Jeffe needs to eat his greens! got to try this sometime.
