It couldn’t hurt!................
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.
Jewish penicillin!
With Ivermectin Sauce it’s more better!
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.

How much whiskey does one add to chicken soup?
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.
Useless article as it really says NOTHING!
Bone broth is good for you when sick too- easy to digest, and has loads of nutrients I guess.
Thanks Red Badger.
Chicken soup as a therapy can be traced back to 60 A.D. and Pedanius Dioscorides, an army surgeon who served under the Roman emperor Nero, and whose five-volume medical encyclopedia was consulted by early healers for more than a millennium.
I keep a whole chicken in the freezer at all times for just such an occasion. Bone marrow broth from simmering the chicken plus cooking the veggies in the same water, and Kluski noodles (thin, similar to the ones that come in canned soup) or Acini de pepe (think Italian wedding soup), are my go-to pastas for a good chicken soup. Plenty of salt/garlic/thyme. Some carrots, celery and onion. Speedy healing!
I instinctively crave it whenever under the weather.
Umami? No mames, guey.
Hot steamy soup can unstuffed a nose, the food is easy to digest, the saltiness might provoke more liquid intake and the flavors might well awaken your taste buds. Altogether, it’s good medicine.
Wife makes a killer chicken soup. She starts with a whole chicken in our big stock pot. It’s got everything in it, except potatoes.
