This recipe came to me awhile ago from my mom when I wanted to make chicken soup for a sick friend. After some reluctance she decided she would allow me to have to so I can pass it down in years to come. I thought I would share it now. I am making it once again for another friend who is sick. This soup is very easy and it reminds me of my moms homemade dinners when I was little. This is one of her favorites to make. This was also the soup that cured everything from an upset stomach, a sore throat, a scraped knee, and even a bad day! This is def one recipe that I will make sure to make my family and friends, not only when someone is sick but as a pick me up soup or even as a reminder of the good that comes from cooking at home. After all chicken soup really is good for the soul! I am looking forward to sharing this recipe not only now but in the future! Enjoy! After all its just about a girl!
