Delicious n’ Soothing Chicken Soup Recipe

When you’re really sick with a bad head cold and a sore throat, and you’re bedded down under your thick quilt, what do you really crave?

Chicken soup of course!  It is a tradition handed down by our mothers and grandmothers and for good reason:

Chicken soup has healing properties and now it’s scientifically proven!
