the owl and the olive tree

This is for rowr, who's coming down sick. jmpava told her that she should get me to make her matzoh ball soup, since he thinks I make it well. (Which is quite a compliment, since I'd never made it before I met him! Although I'd made a great deal of chicken noodle and chicken rice soup. I made soup probably twice a week in high school.) Unfortunately, since she's in California and I'm in Washington, the recipe is the best I can do!

Anyway, this is easy, and quick, and not too expensive, and also warm and filling and comforting. Quantities are for two, but it scales up well. I'm including one recipe with chicken and one that's vegetarian -- the vegetarian is the one I make for Passover, because jmpava's mother is allergic to poultry; the chicken one is the one I make for jmpava when he's not feeling well. :)
