I do believe that Chicken Soup is good for the soul. Actually, according to LivingLovelier, it’s own FOOD GROUP.

Ninety percent of the time you’ll find a few quarts in my freezer. It is comfort food, medicine, a delicious snack, an elixir and coupled with some popovers and a salad, a perfect meal.
