Chicken Soup is not only delicious and comforting; it also has healing and soothing properties. This easy recipe will guide you in preparing your own chicken soup in no time.
For most of us, our parents often serve chicken soup when we are not feeling well. I remember always having this wonder soup when I have a flu, fever, or even simple nasal congestion. I can say that having chicken soup along with plenty of water and an ample rest time always works for me. The Filipino version of chicken soup also gives me comfort and it makes my taste buds happy.
This recipe is easy to follow. All you have to do is boil the chicken (with bones) along with the veggies until it becomes tender. The bones help add more flavor to the soup. Once the chicken becomes tender, the bones need to be removed and the meat shredded. This can be done by using your hands, but make sure that the chicken has cooled down. The last step is to put the shredded chicken and veggies back in the pot and cook for a few more minutes. Add water as necessary.
