I did have some chicken left over from a chicken we roasted the night before along with some stock, so some form of chicken soup was possible. And I had boudin balls. Well, if Jewish people could eat pork, they would obviously substitute boudin balls for matzoh balls.
Kosher Cajun Chicken Soup for the Swine Flu
Sweat one onion, carrots, and celery (all roughly chopped) in some oil. When cold or flu symptoms strike, a spicy dish always helps clear things up. In furtherance of this goal, I added one re-hydrated Pasilla Chile that I had sliced, some red pepper flakes, and some garlic. Let this dance around the pot, then add salt and pepper, stock, and shredded chicken. Bring to a light boil, reduce to a simmer, and let cook for 10-15 minutes.
Meanshile fry up boudin balls until golden brown. Ladle soup into the bowl and top with boudin ball. Here is what happens. When you break open the crust of the boudin ball, its contents spill into the soup. The rice, flecks of pork liver, and green onions immediately thicken the soup. One spoonful will deliver broth and the crunch of breading, while the next has a piece of chicken, the fiery pasilla chile, and the seasoned rice.
Who needs a vaccination program, when you have soup?

Holy (or should it be UNholy) moly, that looks good. Reminds me of the fried crawfish boulettes in crawfish bisque.
That does look good. More importantly, you should share this information with President Obama, as an alternative health care reform proposal.
