I made a chicken soup.

• Whole chicken

• Chayote

• Potato

• Carrot

• Culantro

• Sweet red pepper

• Onion

That’s it. I barely added salt.

I don’t know what it is… but that combination of flavors melts away stress, coughs, and drains my sinuses well.

Is it the soup? Or is it the nostalgia of chicken soup when you’re sick?

Sometimes art has that effect. It’s not the form or the piece, but it’s the nostalgia that makes all the difference.
