Chicken soup is a comforting dish loved worldwide, with roots in countless cuisines, from American to Chinese to Jewish traditions. Typically made with chicken, vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions, and a flavorful broth, it often includes herbs such as parsley or thyme and may feature noodles, rice, or matzo balls, depending on the variation. Chicken soup is rich in protein from the chicken and packed with vitamins and antioxidants from the vegetables, which support immune health.
