Why Is Chicken Soup So Good for Us?

Strain out and discard all the botanicals, and your stock is ready. Now add the rest of the goodies: chicken, noodles, carrots, onions, bell peppers, and celery. You may prefer to poach the chicken separately, or use a roasted bird from the supermarket.

This is one of those dishes that is practically foolproof – start with rich stock, add whatever else you like, and you’re certain to have delicious, and healing, soup.
