While traditional chicken soup is considered the epitome of comfort food, we’ve made a few changes that, we think, take this above and beyond the classic recipe. As we’ve mentioned before, we don’t really crave soup during the warmer months, but once fall rolls around it’s basically the only thing on our mind. Add to that the fact that everyone’s getting sick and needs a little nourishing comfort food to make them feel better, and you’ll find that a delicious, “flu fighting” soup is in pretty high demand.
What sets our soup apart from the rest are the final touches we added: lemon juice and lots of fresh dill. While those two things might not seem like absolute necessities, they are. The lemon juice brightens up the flavor tremendously, and the dill adds a refreshing element that keeps you hooked and slurping down as much of the broth as you can. It’s got the perfect amount of spice to it – perfect for opening up thos
e sinuses – but you can feel free to tweak it as you like…give it a shot though, ‘cause this stuff is crazy good!
