Chicken soup is one of those classic childhood dishes we never grow out of as adults. It comforts us when we are sick, warms us when we are cold, and satisfies us when we are hungry (even if there is no other food in the kitchen). Most of us, though, tend to make chicken noodle soup from a can. For Soupified, I wanted to present some options for making chicken soup, both traditional and modern/global takes on a classic.
One of the first recipes I posted for Soupified was Asian Chicken Noodle Soup. This soup uses lemongrass, ginger, red pepper flakes, and green onions to take chicken noodles from ordinary to extraordinary.
MyRecipes.com has joined the game with the featured article Heart Warming Chicken Soup, which features recipes for Classic Chicken Soup, Thai Shrimp and Chicken Soup, Southwestern Chicken Soup, Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup, and more. “Nourish your soul with these chicken soup recipes that cure colds, mend broken hearts, and erase bad days.”
Is chicken soup really that magical? We have already talked about the Power of Campbell’s Soup in times of economic crisis, but could chicken soup be thrifty enough to hold the answers to all that ails us?
Even if you don’t think you can make chicken soup from scratch, I encourage you to try. If it helps, I also encourage you to cheat with pre-chopped vegetables, pre-cooked chicken (rotisserie works great) or any other short cuts that will get you in the kitchen and trying new things. Try taking a step outside of the can, you might like what you find!
