Cure-All Chicken Soup

November 2, 2017 by The Sunny Side Up Recipes Leave a Comment

Whenever I was sick growing up, my mom would make us this homemade soup from scratch (just like my grandparents did for her) and fill dozens of tupperware containers with the leftovers so we could take it out the next time someone was sick. Even now as an adult, I find myself making it whenever I have a bad cold because it’s so much more flavorful and nutritious than your normal canned chicken noodle  soup–plus, it has that special “mom” touch to it, and I love knowing that it’s a recipe that has been passed down through the generations.

The next time you’re stuck inside on a chilly fall afternoon, make a big batch and save the rest for a rainy day when you need it most–you won’t be sorry. Thanks, Mom!
