Feel Good Chicken Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Place the stock, ginger, and soy sauce in a large saucepan over high heat and bring to the boil. Add the gai lan and cook for 1 minute or until just tender. Divide the chicken, onion and chile between serving bowls and ladle the broth and gai lan over to serve.

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a large stockpot or Dutch oven and cover with the chicken stock and 2 quarts water. Add the onion quarters, roughly chopped carrots and celery, thyme, parsley stems, and the bay leaf. Bring mixture to a boil, partially cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 1 hour. The chicken should easily pull away from the bones.
• Using tongs, remove the chicken from the broth and set aside until cool enough to handle. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-meshed sieve, lined with cheesecloth, discarding the vegetables and reserving the stock. Pull the chicken meat off the bones, discarding the bones, skin, and any fat. Shred and reserve meat.
• Melt the butter in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in reserved cooked chicken. Add reserved chicken stock and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Season the soup with salt and pepper. Add vermicelli and simmer until noodles are cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in parsley. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat stock in a large pot over medium.
• Meanwhile, cut squash into 4 wedges and remove seeds. Cut each wedge into 4 pieces. Add squash to stock and simmer until tender, 8-10 minutes. Add cabbage and cooked chicken and cook until warmed through, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide soup among bowls. Top with jalapeño and some basil and cilantro; drizzle with chili oil and finish with a pinch of ginger. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
• Do Ahead
• Soup (without toppings) can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

Steps:

• Place broth, chicken, carrots, zucchini, and celery in a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the veggies begin to soften.
• Add noodles and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Ladle into a large mug (that you can hold and sip in bed!) and serve with saltine crackers.
• Feel better!
