Sheep, hook me up with a simple chicken soup recipe.

The book is at my girlfriends house, I might go there tonight to dry my socks and boxers (no dryer here and i hate hang dried socks), I'll hook you up ASAP if there is one in there

No worries. Take your time. Theres no rush.

Managed to get a hold of that book yet sheep?

ahaha, I forget about this thread (I have really bad memory)... I just checked through the soup section, oddly enoughy there are no soup recipes containing chicken...

Mostly veggie or beans or things like that soups, one with beef and one with shrimps, but no chicken... how odd

Sorry about this!
