Chicken soup recipe to warm the soul

Soup Fixins

There is nothing better than a cup of warm chicken soup in the winter. It soothes the soul after braving the elements in the bitter cold and heals the body when you’re sick. I also love how simple it is to make chicken soup, which I didn’t realize until I tried a recipe passed down in my family. Essentially using a whole chicken, some herbs (dill and parsley), fresh vegetables (parsnips, carrots and onions) and allowing it to simmer for several hours, this chicken stock and soup is a foolproof recipe that anyone can master and once you do you will NEVER go back to a box or can of soup again. The flavors are also so rich and complex that you may even go back for a second bowl. Here’s how to make one of my favorite soups.
