The most popular post on my blog is my Immune Boosting Chicken Soup recipe written one day whilst I was struggling to finish a book I was writing and I had a horrible cold. I’ve gathered together a few of my other favourites, for those of you who come here looking for inspiration.
- This Chicken Soup by Martha Stewart is a really quick, one hour chicken soup – great for those times you need something home made, quickly. And if you want to read about my love of Martha you can find it here.
- Nigella’s Thai Chicken Noodle is another super-fast recipe that just needs a handful of left-over chicken.
- Mediterranean Chicken Soup from Real Simple has couscous and chickpeas and if you’ve got pre-cooked chicken, can be done in twenty minutes.
- There’s a great Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle at SkinnyMs.
- Greek Style Chicken Soup with olives and fragrant with oregano is another, gorgeous one to try.
- Dara at Cookin’ Canuck has a beautiful post about her Chicken, Bean & Pasta Soup complete with step-by-step pictures.
- And her Crockpot Chicken, Black Bean and Chipotle Soup is perfect for winter days.
- You’ll love The Reluctant Gourmet’s Cream of Chicken – a million miles from the canned stuff we used to eat as children.
- If you’re looking for a Paleo chicken soup, Aileen at Everyone Eats Right has a great one featuring coconut milk.
- Carrie at Deliciously Organic has a Creamy Chicken, Tomato and Vegetable Soup which she throws together from store cupboard ingredients.
- Joy the Baker has a recipe for Spicy Lentil soup with Chicken Sausage – I’ve made this with plain chicken breast (as we can’t get chicken sausage here in England) and it was still delicious.
- Red Lentil and Chicken Soup is comforting, super-nutritious and flavoured with the Lebanese spice mix zaatar which includes thyme, cumin, cinnamon, marjoram and anise.
- Stephanie at Real Food Enthusiast sprouts the lentils for her Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Soup for maximum nutritional benefit – you need to be organised and do this a couple of days in advance, but it’s worth it.
- Coconut and Lime give this Thai Chicken Soup from Delish a sweet-sour flavour which is surprisingly cooling on a hot day.
- Thickened with chick pea flour and seasoned with turmeric and paprika, Ohn-no-khakswe is a delicious Burmese chicken soup which is traditionally served over noodles.
- Being Scottish I have to include Cock-a-Leekie Soup in my list, although I’ve never met a family who really do add the prunes which are supposed to add a certain sweetness.
- Jack Monroe offers a recipe for Just Chicken soup which is so simple you’ll look twice at the ingredients. (Or should I say, the ingredient?)
- The Pioneer Woman’s recipe for Chicken and Dumplings adds cream and apple cider (or apple juice, if you’re outside North America).
- Living Lou’s Moroccan Chicken Soup is the closest recipe I’ve come to the delicious John Lewis soup you can find in their cafe (adding a handful of chopped dried apricots or sultanas gives it an extra sweetness).
- This recipe combines white beans, green pesto, and Italian sausage for a delicious chicken soup.
- Jamie Oliver’s Feel Good Chicken Broth has shiitake mushrooms and a splash of sherry which is guaranteed to make you feel better.
- Gaby has a recipe for Chicken Tortilla Soup which is served topped with guacamole, sour cream, and my mouth is watering just typing the words again. Just wait until you try it…
- And when you’ve recovered, give Smitten Kitchen’s Chicken Pho a try. You won’t regret it.
- Last of all, because I love her and her sticks of butter so much, The Barefoot Contessa’s Chicken Soup – how can you go wrong with a recipe that begins “place three chickens in a stockpot…” (three?)
