Chicken soup is a nourishing dish celebrated across various cuisines, often associated with comfort and healing. Traditionally prepared with chicken, vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions, and seasoned with herbs such as parsley or thyme, its origins trace back to many cultures, including Jewish, Chinese, and American kitchens, where it’s cherished for its soothing qualities. Rich in protein from chicken and vitamins from vegetables, chicken soup can support immune health and hydration, particularly when served hot. Studies suggest that the warm broth might also help alleviate congestion during illnesses, making it a go-to remedy for colds. While low in fat when prepared with lean chicken and minimal oil, some recipes may be higher in sodium, depending on added salt or store-bought broths. Opting for a homemade version with fresh ingredients ensures a balanced and wholesome dish ideal for recovery and comfort.
