Chicken soup: The story of "Jewish penicillin"

[@Jupe367]

I am convince that chicken soup does work. Everytime I start to have a cold, I eat chicken soup and I would feel better.

[@escazuzu9950]

Chicken tortilla soup is what we eat down here in Texas. Throw in some jalapenos and squeeze lime juice in it. Perfection!

[@MultiTazmo]

Eww.

[@Historian212]

Maimonides was also a physician, she neglected to mention. Matzoh balls are Ashkenazi, not all Jews make them. My grandmother's were fluffy. She said not to handle them too much, it makes them tough.

[@masterimbecile]

I love the Chinese style my grandma makes. We have shiitake mushrooms, wolf berries, ginseng, and a splash of rice wine before serving to make it super herby and earthy.

[@escazuzu9950]

Sounds delicious!

[@masterimbecile]

@@escazuzu9950 It is!! Perfect for cold winters.

[@americandreamer6092]

eewwwww! yuck!

[@roylwchez]

Chicken soup only works if someone makes it for you. Its the love thats put into the soup that makes the difference

[@patricemarie2960]

In NYC ..... all of the mensches treat their good friends, to matzo ball soup, and 🥯 bagels! That's a still a NYC, treat, "nosh". 😊👍💓

[@seeare4959]

I love myself, so I make myself a mean soup with super extra mega love! LOL

[@TJV83]

That’s sweet

[@hilarytsai7415]

what if somebody made it who hates you?

[@JULIA-e7k]

Ha ha 😃 👀 Shalom e eryone😅😊

[@marciasuminski8455]

Add Vernors ginger soda to the menu and you have the perfect way to heal yourself.

[@masterimbecile]

I'm gonna give that a shot! Seems like basic principle is like how my family makes it: adding some earthiness and sweetness to the soup to amp up the savory taste. Except we do it with shiitaki mushrooms and rice wine.

My gramma Mim’s chicken soup is the best I’ve ever had. RIP❤️

Nancy Giles' voice is the auditory equivalent of chicken soup. Please to have her V/O alllll the things.

[@batya7]

Two kinds of matzah balls: floaters & sinkers. Merits for each kind. Both of my grandmothers made different chicken soups, both delicious: one was clear with carrots, the other cloudy and full of veggies (she called it "junk"). Yum!

[@eddierosa250]

I’ve had this type of soup several times but I find it a bit bland to my palate. I find the different chicken soup recipes stemming from the Mediterranean and Caribbean to be so much more seasoned, tastier and with hearty chicken fat broth.

[@tommydronesmaaddaaah9911]

Add a pinch of #oldbay seasoning !

[@patricemarie2960]

Homemade?.... Looks delicious, and nutritious! .... Progresso's not perfect, ( mostly decent ingredients), but will still do the trick, .... in a real pinch! ..... Jewish medicine, absolutely certain! New Yorkers can't do without it. 💓💕👍

[@joe6096]

Good homemade chicken soup really is the best medicine. I don't care who makes it really, although my Mom's is fantastic. Jewish, Italian, Slovak, Hungarian, German..... with or without Matzo balls.... I love it. Now off to Corkey and Lenny's deli on Chagrin in Beachwood OH for a quart to take home!! Or should I just go to Joe's Deli on Hillard Rd in Rocky River OH? Google them both - the next time you're in the Cleveland OH area they are must stops for great chicken - Matzo ball soup!!!

[@margaretpeabody243]

I liked learning how chicken soup is prepared differently around the world.

[@judiesuh6858]

Yes.. like we have so many varieties of the chicken soup in Korea

[@brandon3872]

​@@judiesuh6858My favourite is samgyetang 😊

[@ernestchacon4928]

Wow, this chicken soup looks delicious 😋.

[@paulinelarson465]

I would think chicken soup has been around since someone invented the pot to boil it in ! Before that - invention of the cooking pot - meat would have been roasted and vegetables probably eaten raw. My hypothesis is that a woman (mother) invented chicken soup. Chickens would be easy to catch and clean. With a cook pot, there is no need to monitor fire, roasting meat and by boiling the vegetables, they become soft enough for infants to eat. Original one pot meal for busy mothers, improves the survival rate of their children.

[@todosmentira336]

I always do it with left-over chicken (or guinea fowl) carcass from a roast - wash and remove most skin and fat - simmer with bay, carrot and celery 2 hrs or until meat is ready to fall off bones- - gently fry some onion , 1 garlic clove, carrot and celery as little as possible in light (not virgin) olive oil , before adding strained chicken broth - I add a Chinese twist; chopped lettuce in the last few minutes plus a little sesame oil to add crunch and a nutty-sweet lift, plus vermicelli plus parsley- - if you have time to make matzo balls, a small pinch of dried ginger in the matzo balls or in the soup-! You can use the chicken fat you skim off the broth as the schmaltz in the matzo balls...also I like to add the meat from the chicken , expecially the neck meat - yummy!

[@jillsalkin7389]

How interesting. Thousands of years ago, people made chicken soup, not knowing the healing properties it had!

[@WalrusesAreTheOne]

They knew it was good, they just didn't know why

[@romstar]

I think 🤔 the chickens 🐔 used to make the soup 🍲 would disagree!😝😘🙏✅

[@apictureoffunction]

I haven't had the good fortune to try any matzah balls but I'd love to try them with chicken noodle soup sometime.

[@margaretpeabody243]

My olfactory was picking up astral chicken soup. Judy Garland couldn't have had it too bad having to only eat chicken soup.

[@suzannewebb7913]

My Irish Catholic grandmother made her version of this so did my mum and now me and my daughters yummy

[@Geeksmithing]

That "expert" thinks that when you breathe in chicken soup, it goes into your stomach. I'm convinced.

[@supermariosionduggan7545]

love chicken soup

[@404BOOMER]

It's called comfort food.

[@focusongrowth4755]

[@onefoot7]

Problem though: Sodium level, meat (animal products in even 10% consumption puts you at risk long term)

[@oaktadopbok665]

The Jewish Julia Child should learn to pronounce "panacea."

[@oranjmusemeyer968]

😂😂💙😂😂

[@vsanchez7158]

I have never heard it pronounced that way. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Historian212]

IKR??? She's also not a historian. But hey, other than that...

[@islandgirl8914]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇯🇲

[@masterphoenixpraha]

It really works, if the chicken is "adult hen"... it also is totally different taste and flavour then the young chicken soup...

[@karolinesmail489]

Yes I make this so often bi do it in my sleep 😴 husband is of a Jewish family so it's just part of us ..it is so true it will cure that cold ...for sure 🍜🍜🍜 it truly is penicillin in a bowl matzo balls such a pleasure I love em

Chicken soup is not Jewish. Every country in the world that has chickens has chicken soup.

Awww, did that offend you?

[@ovh992]

@@jackl1908 nah. Just shocked at how narrow minded that title is. It is pretty absurd.

Depends on the soup

[@Geeksmithing]

And in the piece, they show and talk about chicken soups from around the world, but then hone into a specific Jewish one at the end of the video. How was that difficult for you?

[@Happy_HIbiscus]

dude, this is so true, its a proven fact !

NOP! The REAL penicillin is facemask! very few cold/flu cases in 2020 - i'm not leaving the house without a facemask ever again! I still love ckin soup
