Put some dumplings in that soup too

The vapor off a good chicken soup can help with congestion.

[@balancedactguy]

Mr. & Mrs. H. My Mother said the BEST most FLAVORFUL Chicken Soup comes when the chicken you use is the Dark Meat...mainly Thigh and Drumstick meat. Remove the Skin from the pieces to cut back on the fat, but use the rest and simmer until the meat falls off the bone. Remove the Chicken meat from the pot and cut into Bite-Sized pieces, and return to the pot and simmer until all the Veggies and Noodles are done.....Enjoy!😊 BTW...To help speed up your recovery...double up on your VITAMIN C and ZINC! Known fighters of Viruses.....which is what "Colds" are! Cheers!

[@Patrick-nv5ug]

I was going to say thighs, bone in skin trimmed, but still a bit attached are definitely better. And may I suggest small fresh mushrooms, sliced. They are a wonderful addition.

[@janethernandez724]

Well done Mrs. H, you did a fine job! As for Mr. H. keep yourself hydrated with plenty of fluids and do rest as much as possible. As for my other favorite soup, I do love me a delicious French onion soup or a Spanish/Mexican style beef soup with chucks of vegetables in it called 'Cocido" (Co-ci-do, pronounced as Ko- see- doh),I use both Spanish/Mexican because I am aware the origin is from Spain but some of the Mexican restaurants here have it on their menus here in SoCal. The ones we see in some Mexican restaurants here use bone in beef shanks which makes the soup/broth very flavorful, and it can be very tender when cooked right. Any garden vegetable, cut corn cobs cut in thirds, carrots, wedges of cabbage, onion, garlic, bay leaf, squash, zucchini, and yes celery. Oh, I forgot a garnish of cilantro or parsley if you don't have cilantro. I am just going by memory of what I have ordered at restaurants, I never made it, but it does taste very good. We have seen variations of Cocido at some restaurants, some add slices of fresh avocado to garnish which I found odd at first, but I liked it. I do hope you all feel better soon. Take care of yourselves. Peace. ☮

[@Estranged180]

Fun tip: Wide egg noodles give the soup a little more body and bite. There's something to be said for a good solid noodle.

[@michaelwolf7840]

The small noodles are the exact same that you find in the lipton chicken noodle soup packets though. Buy I agree bigger is better

[@richdiddens4059]

Another tip:If you aren't likely to eat the whole batch of soup tonight cook your noodles separately. Just enough for what you're eating. Put a serving of egg noodles in each bowl and ladle the soup on top. Otherwise the noodles in the leftovers turn to unappetizing mush.

[@cdpgeorge]

It might not fix you, but you'll feel better anyways, which is the same thing.

[@kristophergoordman7225]

In the United States, especially in the north east chicken noodle soup is known as Jewish penicillin! It’s good for you because the chicken adds a lot of protein which the body needs to heal. While the rest of the ingredients add a lot of vitamins. But,one thing that you can’t skimp on to make it extremely powerful Against whatever you’re sick with, is garlic. Lots of garlic!

Not only in the Northeast. My dearly departed Mother called chicken soup Jewish Penicillin and she was not from the Northland. Cheers from Tennessee

[@caffeinedelusions]

I can't cosign this enough. However much garlic you THINK is enough, you're gonna want to double it. If it calls for 2-3 cloves, do six.

[@snowflakehunter]

The fact is that it is the water content that helps you heal the vitamins are good as well but when you're sick and you're sweating is the water content that you need.

The funny thing is: Americans drink hot tea when we're not feeling well 😂

[@klouisville8760]

So true!! I love hot chai tea or other tea when I don’t feel well

[@NotKev2017]

Hot tea with a spoonful of honey and a small spoonful of whiskey. Bundle up and it will make you sweat out the cold. The heat of the tea will intensify the alcohol. So very little is needed.

I cold brew my green tea with lemon. Drink it all year long!

@@NotKev2017 I was going to comment that my go to is a Hot Toddy which is what you described if you add a little lemon juice as well. The honey, lemon and whiskey help with soothing the throat, vitamin c and boost the immune up….at least I like to think the whisky (or bourbon, brandy or rum) is fighting them germs which makes me feel less guilty with drinking in the morning. 😂

As a Mexican American, when the weather starts to get cold and you want that warm soup, our go to is pozole! There are 2 different kinds, the regular red one but also a green one. So much flavor in them, it’s just the best!

[@mikepaulus4766]

In school in the US we would have turkey noodle soup as part of the school lunch. Turkey was used because it's bigger, but has the same number of bones. So they could make lots of soup for hundreds of kids with less work than if they used chicken.

I literally never had turkey soup once in the 13 years of grade school I went though 🤣

[@loisavci3382]

​@@jman0870Speaking as someone who's worked in a no. of restaurants in the US: It's not unusual for restaurants to make chicken soup out of turkey, and I wouldn't be surprised if schools did the same.

@@loisavci3382 selling chicken soup made out of turkey is illegal in all fifty fucking states and likely all outlying territories bucko. There is no such thing as legal false advertising in the US. Chicken soup must be chicken soup. I’ll take things that never happened for $1000, Alex. 🤡

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

I always liked the turkey tetrazzini too. Not soup, but tasty.

[@StevenCryar]

When did you go to school? I genuinely don't remember ever having any kind of soup in school.

[@Ameslan1]

The Americas Test Kitchen cookbook is a great resource and cookbook! Great choice! One thing to note with chicken noodle soup.. is if you want left over chicken noodle soup for the next day, cook the noodles SEPARATELY because if you leave the noodles in the container or jar for the next day, the noodles will absorb most of the liquid or soup! But if you are planning to eat all of it in one sitting then go ahead and cook the noodles in the soup itself. But I think the thin noodles that Mrs H put in will be okay and not absorb as much of the liquid the next day such as if you used wide egg noodles. Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup uses the thin noodles like Mrs H used in her soup! When sick.. it is common to use crackers with soup rather than bread but both crackers or bread is good.

[@lisavuong6087]

You definitely need to cook a whole chicken & use that broth. Shred the chicken, add the veggies & spices. Dont break up the egg noodles. It’ll be amazing! Feel better H’s!!🥰🥰

[@irisblue2332]

Good tip about the noodles. If you're going to freeze it for later, it's better to use something like barley or rice for the starch. I still mourn the wonderful homemade bone broth I sullied by adding a lot of egg noodles and then freezing the leftovers. Lesson learned, but such a waste.

[@HDCalame]

Get better soon Mr H!

We eat celery with peanut butter and its great if you like peanut butter. You spread the peanut butter in the whole crevice of the celery stalk and a good snack! Ate this all the time as a kid

If I'm sick, my go-to is chicken noodle soup . However, if I'm healthy I seldom ever eat chicken noodle soup. It just doesn't taste good to me when I'm healthy. If I'm feeling good there's so many other things I want chicken corn chowder, French onion, ham and bean, lentil, clam chowder, and potato just to name a few. Though I have made most of the others by scratch I have never made split pea soup from scratch which was surprising because it is probably one of my favorites.

[@GrayNeko]

1) Soup looks amazing! I can practically smell it through my monitor and now I'm HUNGRY! ^___^ 2) This is just an opinion, but I think one of the reasons that chicken noodle soup works so well when you're sick is that it's both very hearty, but very simple. There's nothing in it that will irritate your stomach or your sinuses. Just gobs of protein and some simple, health some veggies. No frills. No fuss. 3) My personal favorite soup would be a nice gumbo, don't really care what the protein is, within reason.

[@nicknickson3650]

Nothing like a good bowl of chicken noodle soup on a winter day. I add a little bit of hot sauce, really opens up the flavors

I was just going to post the same thing - the hot sauce (or cayenne pepper) helps the illness. And definitely use dark meat - much more flavor.

[@jackinthebox995]

Nothing is better than chicken noodle soup for a sick day

[@blissburn]

Two tips and a comment - Tip 1- The next time you use your smoker, smoke a couple of whole chickens (lightly seasoned). Pull the meat off, but reserve the bones/cartilage/skin and freeze them separately in ZipLocs or similar for soup making. Use the pulled meat from the chicken to add to your soup, but also add the bones/cartilage in a small muslin bag. Boiling that in the soup will add even more depth and nutrition while still making it easy to remove before serving. Tip 2- Make a light roux at the start of your soup cook. Just a bit of butter(or oil), and half the amount of flour. Toast the flour in the fat before adding the other ingredients. It will make the soup have a lot more depth, and just a bit thicker, which is very satisfying on the palate. Comment - Adding a handful of frozen sweet corn kernels or a handful of frozen green peas is often a welcome addition to Chicken Noddle Soup, and both add a touch of brightness, especially if you follow the tips above. There's no such thing as having 'too wholesome' of a soup when you're under the weather or having a bowl of it during the dreary days of winter. Lean into the flavor and comfort. Cheers. Feel better soon!

[@Mrhandfriends]

Sounds lovely. Great idea on cooking some chicken and storing it for future use. We will try that.

You can simmer the chicken in stock or water on the stove too with seasonings and it makes stock too. Simmer the chicken until done. I take it out set aside so it doesn't overcook. Boneless skinless thighs are great, too. Set aside while you fix the rest of your soup. We just had norovirus in our family so I made this. If appears too salty you can add some water to pot.

But, if you suffer from congestion, this soup definitely helps! So, use half chicken stock/broth with half vegetable stock/broth, then add minced garlic, zested ginger, sliced mushrooms, sliced green onion tops, red pepper flakes, and trimmed baby spinach (in liue of celery and noodles).

I always put in a little (or a lot) of cayenne powder to add a bit of heat, helps open everything up and makes breathing easier when you have a cold. Hope you are all on the mend soon!

For sore scratchy throats, slice 2 lemons, peel and slice 2 pieces of ginger, put them in a container (i use a quart jar) and cover with honey and seal. Upend this at least 6 times a day. The longer this mixture is together, the better it works. Take a teaspoon as needed. For a cough, slice a med onion and cover with honey, cover and let sit on the counter to ferment. After 6 days, take a teaspoon as needed. The onion slices may be eaten also. Both of these can be kept in the refrigerator for 6 months. I usually start these in Sept. so I have them ready for the family's colds.

I could eat homemade soup every day of the week. The beauty of it is you can add whatever you have on hand or what you like. They are highly adaptable.
