The Best Chicken Soup You’ll Ever Eat

I’ve been a soup lover my entire life. Tony would tell you that it’s true because he’s the one stuck eating my delicious soup recipes that I bust out weekly.

This recipe came to me a few weeks ago after I came down with the WORST cold ever. I was on the verge of getting better, then all of a sudden I took a turn for the worst and spent an entire weekend sneezing, coughing and barely able to breathe. I know MANY of you have been struggling with cold and flu season this year too, so I thought why not make an epic chicken soup that you can come back to year after year?

Whenever I’m sick I love a good, soul soothing soup. In fact, did you know that soup can actually help to reduce the length of your cold? Amazing news, because I bet this will be one of your favorite soups of all time.

Normally I love making my healing vegetarian curry whenever I’m sick, but ever since I’ve made this soup I’ve been OBSESSED with how delicious, flavorful and hearty it is. THIS AIN’T NO CAMPBELL’S PEOPLE. IT’S LIKE PROGRESSO ON CRACK. ALSO BETTER THAN PANERA.

And yes, caps were necessary there — I really needed to get my point across about how damn good this soup is.
