How to make chicken soup
As a child, the first medicine I took to treat a cold was a plate of chicken soup from my grandmother Elsa. When I grew up and started going to parties, drinking alcohol and suffering its consequences, my treatment the next day (sometimes even in the early morning when I arrived) was a dish of chicken soup from my mother.
If for some reason I vomited, my first food to eat was this soup.
Today, as an adult, I still use this wonderful elixir to cure various ills. I think it works for almost everything, even to regulate moods.
Ingredients and recipe to make chicken soup
The most important thing is chicken (obviously), preferably shells, bones , neck and some piece of breast, for its meat.
Also vegetables, because it is a chicken soup with vegetables. You can use what you have in your fridge but I recommend carrots, pumpkin, onion, potatoes, peppers and aromatic herbs such as cilantro, parsley and mint.
Recommended utensils:
- Pot to make soup

Preparation
- In a large pot, boil the chicken pieces in approximately 2 liters of water. Let it boil for about 15 minutes. During this time you should be aware of constantly removing the foam that accumulates on the surface.
- Add the onion, pepper and chilli previously chopped in julienne strips and the leek in thin casters.
- Then add salt, pepper, oregano and a couple of hours of laurel. These measures are subjective and depend on your taste. Start with a small amount and you can increase it later.
- After it boils for a while, add the chopped pumpkin into pieces of 3 or 4 centimeters. Do the same with the carrot.Try the salt and pepper in case you need more.
- A few minutes before turning off the fire incorporates finely chopped herbs: coriander, parsley, celery, mint and chives.
- Turn off the heat and let sit a few minutes.
If you want to make chicken soup with noodles ( of finite, small), cook them separately in another pot with a little water and add them to the dish when serving.
