Chicken Noodle Soup - It's Good For The Soul

Chicken soup for the soul, is a real thing, right? Obviously, I'm not blazing any trails here with a recipe for chicken noodle soup. But it was a rainy fall afternoon, and I made this soup, and it was just so good, that I had to post it just because. I'm not sure if chicken Noodle Soup is good for diverting colds and flu, but I am very intrigued by this article that suggests that it might.The Science of Chicken Soup.

Making Soup is Therapeutic

Making soup is one of those homey pleasures. Probably because soup making is just so easy. You can't really fail. And in spite of that, you just feel so pleased with yourself when there's a pot of homemade soup on the stove. You know, that self satisfaction of making something nutritious and delicious from scratch. With little effort, that takes care of the next meal, or anyone who's just hungry. Somehow, it just feels very nurturing to give people, yourself included, some homemade soup.

This chicken noodle soup has all kinds of veggies that I threw in the pot. It really doesn't matter what you put in, because it'll be delicious. Soup is the age old way to transform that one last carrot, that half zucchini, the last of the kale, into something perfectly, mundanely, wondrous.

You'll feel even more self satisfied if you have home made chicken stock, but it's perfectly OK if  you don't. If you are buying some, there are lots of good organic ones in the store. Your soup can be even easier to make if you have leftover cooked chicken. If you do, put the cooked chicken into the pot at the end, just to heat through.

If you feel like going on a soup making roll, here's more ideas. These are a bit less classic, but still easy to make and delicious: Jamaican Pumpkin Soup, or Purple Cabbage Soup
