Sick on Whole 30

No, not sick OF Whole 30. The heading is correct. I've been sick since Monday. I have the sinus, the sore throat and yes, that awesome cough that could wake the dead.  I was told it sounds like a barking seal (sexy, I know).  So, what do you do when you are exhausted, dizzy and too shaky to cook a Whole 30 meal? Bone broth! Ok, I get it, it's awesome and fantastic for you. But, what do you do when you don't have the energy to do make a whole batch of bone broth!? Store-bought chicken broth! 

Have you ever had most of those store-bought chicken stocks and broths? They are awful. I mean, absolutely terrible and not made for human consumption on their own. I did however find one that was pleasantly delicious (in my opinion) without having to add a bunch of stuff or cook if for hours upon hours. Organic Imagine, Free Range Chicken Broth in a 32 fl oz container. I found mine at Kroger. All I did is throw it in a pan and heat it up for approximately 10 minutes.  You could microwave it for a minute or two if you own a microwave. It's that easy and delicious.  I called to make sure that the "organic spices" listed on the ingredients was not sugar. The woman I spoke with said that the less than one gram of sugar came from the carrots and no sugar was added. She did not know every spice off hand, but said she knew that the broth included salt, parsley and black pepper.  She was willing to connect me to someone else to get the full listing, but as long as sugar or a sugar substitute isn't involved, I'm accepting this as a compliant soup broth.  

It's delicious on it's own, simple to heat up, organic, free range, no added sugar and on sale for $3.69 at Kroger right now. What more could a sick girl ask for? Maybe a good looking man to spoon-feed it to me? Other than that, I'm happy I found a tasty new broth.  ~Nicci, Whole30-day 4
