Chicken can always helps sick people feel better

Whenever a cold hits, chicken noodle soup is the first thing that comes to mind. It’s just one of those classic comfort foods that’s easy to throw together, even when energy is low. I usually start by simmering bone-in chicken thighs with carrots, celery, onion, and a couple garlic cloves. Once the chicken is cooked, I shred it and toss it back in with some egg noodles. The trick is to add a splash of lemon juice and a bunch of chopped parsley at the end—it brightens up the whole pot. Sometimes I’ll add a pinch of dried thyme or a bay leaf while it simmers. There’s something about the steam and the simple flavors that just feels right when under the weather. If there’s leftover rotisserie chicken in the fridge, that works too and makes things even quicker. Homemade broth is great, but store-bought works in a pinch. I always make enough for leftovers because it tastes even better the next day. #SoupSeason #ChickenNoodleSoup #SickDayEats #ComfortInABowl #Food #Cooking
