chicken noodle soup

Classic sick-day meal

Chicken noodle soup is a broth-based soup containing chicken meat, noodles, and typically vegetables like carrots and celery.

It's a comfort food staple, traditionally served to people with colds or flu—the warm liquid and simple ingredients are thought to be soothing and restorative: Mom always made chicken noodle soup when I was sick.
