Our Favourite Healthy Chicken Soup

RECIPE

This recipe came from a friend’s dad, we’ve been cooking it for years and it’s a staple in our kitchen throughout winter. I love cooking this whenever we’re sick or on a cold, rainy day. This was also a meal I prepped before Goldie’s birth and enjoyed postpartum.

This is a great meal to freeze into portions, if you find that you need more liquid - just add extra water and season if needed.
