Comfort Food: Chicken Soup



On some days, whether it be a cold muggy winter day or a day when you need to feel some extra warmth and comfort, nothing beats comfort food. Thanks to my brother of reminding me of the most famous of all comfort foods, a chicken soup. He gave me the idea, so this is all accredited to him :)



Ingredients:
