Even if your only ailment at the moment is a case of winter blues, a bowl of this soup will fix it. Did you know that almost every one of the world’s cultures has a version of chicken soup? Known fondly here in the United States as “Jewish penicillin”, this soup is also apparently the go-to for Dr. Mom’s the world over. Speaking for Southern mothers, at least, I can testify.

If ever a month called for soup recipes from a home kitchen, it would be the month of January, and I am happy to do my part. If you have managed to live life subsisting on Campbells in a can (which has, itself, been known to hit the spot in a pinch), I offer my version of made-from-scratch Homemade Chicken Soup. It is much easier than it seems, and vastly outshines anything store bought.
