An ode to soup

What is it about soup that makes you feel instantly better? Even the process of making soup is therapeutic. Here's today's cold combating recipe:

Ingredients:
1 packet Macaroni elbows
2 Bullion cubes (beef, chicken or veg - your choice)
1 tin mushrooms (I like whole buttons)
1 tin corn kernels
A few sausages (do not underestimate the power of hot dogs)
Green onions
Cornflour
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste (just because you're sick doesn't mean you have to compromise on quality)
Soy sauce
Oregano

Directions:
Take large pot of water and bring to boil. Put all of the above ('cept the onions) in. Boil until macaroni is al dente. Thicken with cornflour. Switch off. Let cool to drinkable temperature. Garnish with green onions. Serve in large bowl with toasted pita bread.

Substitutions:
Chicken for sausages.
