CHICKEN SOUP
This is a great recipe. I know everyone thinks their Mom
makes the best Chicken Soup ever, but my Mom didn’t make
Chicken Soup and I don’t even know who to give the
credit for this wonderful recipe. Some ones Mother or
Daughter gave it to me about 25 or 30 years ago and I
made it for my children when they had the cold or flu
when they were growing up and I am still making it. When
they wanted Chicken Soup they would tell me that they
thought they were getting sick. Now both girls make it
just because they like it, they don’t need an excuse.
