chicken soup

Grandmother's cold remedy

Chicken soup is a broth made by simmering chicken with vegetables, often containing noodles or rice.

It's comfort food, traditionally given to people who are sick—My grandmother always made chicken soup when I had a cold.

The phrase chicken soup for the soul suggests something emotionally nourishing or restorative.
