Nothing beats a rainy day better than a piping hot bowl of soup. Hot, home-cooked soup is comfort food that drives the gloom out of a rainy day.
This recipe is my take on common chicken soup. Carrots and green onions are to be added to put in an appetizing color to the soup. Herbs maximize the aroma and flavor of the dish, and serve to accentuate the chicken. The bouillon cube simplifies the process of putting flavor to it. Serve this chunky chicken soup to your family now and make them smile!
