Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe


Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Chicken noodle soup is well known for its comforting taste. Some believe that when chicken soup is prepared with prolonged cooking of a chicken bones it increases the calcium content of the soup. That’s why, I use half a chicken, including the bones, to prepare in my opinion the best chicken soup. With the other half of the chicken you can prepare other tasty dishes. It’s also believed, that chicken soup has the properties to treat symptoms of the common cold and related conditions. If you are a fan of the soups, I suggest a few of my favorite soups – Chicken Gizzard and Meatball Soup.
