I made soup yesterday, adding stuff by intuition. I'm rather fond of it, so here's the recipe, as much as I can remember it. The ingredients listed are approximate.

This has just a hint of burn to it, and is just the thing if you have a cold. It will definitely get the sinuses moving. And it tastes really nice, too!

1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 leek sliced lengthwise and chopped, green end discarded
1/2 Spanish onion, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
2 stalks of celery, chopped
1/4 cup peas
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 bay leaf
a pinch of sage
1 Tbsp curry powder
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp herbes du provence
1/4 tsp dried chili pepper
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp season it all (a general all-purpose seasoning with sea salt, chili, black pepper, cumin, etc. in it)
about five or six long hand-made vegetable egg noodles, broken into 1" pieces

- In a frying pan, sauté chicken in the oil until cooked all the way through.
- Dump all ingredients except noodles in a large pot and add water until it just covers everything. Cook on high until boiling.
- Lower heat to let the soup simmer and add noodles. Stir every now and then to make sure noodles don't stick to bottom of pot.
- Simmer until noodles are cooked through.

I'm going to try this, just as I am going to try the chocolate gingerbread recipe you posted.

What's in herbes de Provence?

Let me go get my jar and find out.....

Rosemary, marjoram, thyme, savory, basil, lavender, and sage.

Oh, it's made by McCormick and should be available at any major grocery store chain.

I made this on the weekend, but didn't get the right herbs so it was just a spicy chicken soup. They seemed to like it all right. I made the gingerbread too, it came out a bit soggy for me but it's getting stickier by the day, like a parkin....
