Inevitably, the flu season finally reached us. I always find it amazing that when you have no appetite whatsoever and all you do is lay dead on the couch nurturing a huge pile of used tissues, the only food you can actually eat is the Jewish grandma secret medicine – a.k.a chicken soup. I got this recipe from my partner’s mother, after he once got sick and miserable and asked for a chicken soup “just like his mother’s”.
This is a very basic recipe without any special additions. Handling a whole chicken might be a challenging experience to some (even if you’re not a vegetarian/vegan) but once you pass this obstacle there is hardly any work left.
