So, came home from work on Friday and literally crashed out with my work clothes and shoes on for a couple hours. Been kinda fighting allergies, etc all week. Finally, get up to get dressed for bed, and the I start to feel the body aches and fever! FARK! Head off to the clinic and get some antibiotics, and some other really good meds to fight the sinus infection I now had. This weekend has been lots of rest and fluids (of the non adult and sudsy type :evil:). Figured I'd make some loaded chicken soup. That stuff cures everything, RIGHT!? :eusa_clap
Ingredients:

YOUNG chicken! NOT an OLD chicken!:wacko:
With the sinus infection, I wasn't in the mood to build a fire or cook over charcoal. But I did cook outside and it technically was cooked ON the Weber Kettle!:heh:

Tossed in some grilled pork steaks from the other day to help build up the smoky stock. Coco will enjoy these for dinner!:clap2:

I wanted to get a good sweat going with the heat from the soup and the chiles so that I can sweat the last of this crud out! It worked!:twisted:

Thanks for looking!

I thought that name sounded familiar. Went to the pantry and I picked up a sleeve of crackers last night when we did grocery shopping. I picked up some Breton multigrain. Are those the same ones you are referring to George?
