A soul soothing and strengthening soup Its also my go-to when the kids are sick, reminding me of home-made chicken soup made for me by my mum when I was small. So we keep the tradition going.. Sometimes with tiny pasta shapes and grated parmesan, sometimes with chunky vegetables and topped with watercress.
