Well balanced meal and opens up your sinuses.
Vicks...it smelled but that helped, too.

Yes. My grandmother used to drink a glass of the water she boiled vegetables in, for the nutrients.
Just imaging multiple vegetables and bone marrow in one broth.
Very healthy.

A doctor once told me that no one really knows why, but there is definitely something medicinal about chicken soup.
Whether it’s the nutrients, the comfort food aspect, the warm broth when you have the chills, who knows?

It is the ultimate comfort food, along with mashed potatoes and meatloaf.

Chicken broth with a 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper will clear your sinuses.

Coincidentally I’m making 2 gallons of home made chicken stock as I type. Carrots, celery, onion, and a handful of peppercorns tossed in just to round out the flavors.
After a long slow simmer it goes into the canner.

We’ve been on the chicken noodle soup kick for a few years. 2 cans of Campbell’s, add boiled chicken breast and/or thighs, carrots, celery, dried onions and mushrooms, seasoned to taste.

Chicken soup works great at fighting colds. But you know what else does too? Turkey soup. I first made turkey soup last Thanksgiving and I immediately felt healthier although I didn’t have a cold. I plan on making turkey soup again this Thanksgiving and perhaps making a video about it.

I used to travel a lot. One weekend about 20years ago, found me in Coeur d’Alene, at a hotel on the lake. I don’t remember feeling more sick, I checked in and spent most of the weekend in the bathroom. I did struggle to an outdoor eating area and found chicken soup on the menu that first Friday evening. The bowl was very large and the noodles in it were over an inch wide! I had it for every meal, including breakfast. (It wasn’t part of the breakfast menu, but they made it for me.) I will always wonder if the chicken soup was literally that marvelous or that I was so sick I thought so. The highlights of my terrible weekend were those moments with the chicken soup. I wish I had the recipe. Science or not, it was the best thing for me on that horrible weekend.
