There’s nothing better than a bowl of chicken soup on a cold winter day.
With flu season in full swing, everywhere I turn I am seeing people complaining about being sick. Sick kids, sick hubby, sick themselves. When a cold or flu hits your home, chicken soup is always to the rescue.
But don’t wait for your house to turn into a hospital ward to enjoy this soup. Heck, if we did, we’d never get to have it! Thankfully our family has been blessed with pretty steadfast immune systems (knock on wood.) So we get to enjoy this soup simply because we love it.

Sounds great but an awful lot of sodium. I search for no salt broth and use that.
Am anxious to try it.
