I'm trying to make some extra soup and stews for my mother-in-law before we return home. I don't have my usual cookbooks around me, so I was wondering if someone could type up the Chicken Soup recipe from A Continual Feast by Evelyn Vitz ASAP? Thanks so much!

Oh, and any simple suggestions for foods for recuperating from a heart attack...low sodium, diabetic friendly.

Jenn, You amaze me with all the special cooking you can do and keep it all straight! I wish I knew a recipe to add, but right now, I'm swollen and light headed from too many pickles and not enough of anything else.

But I'll pray....
