Chicken Soup - Oy, Does this Jewish Mama know how to make you feel better.

It's Flu Season!
And it's a bad one. 
In order to keep healthy, this Jewish mother says there is a few things you have to do.

1. Get a flu shot - I know that some people are against that, but if you're not, then do it.
2. Wash hands, use Purell, Wash hands, use Purell and wash hands. 
3. Keep your hands away from your face.
4. Don't make non-essential doctors appointments during flu season.  Sick people go there.
5. Think about wearing a surgical mask on buses and trains, and don't touch anything. If you are going to a doctor's office definitely wear a surgical mask.
6. Most of all - eat Sopa de Milagros (Spanish Soup of Miracles, the recipe is in this blog)
7. AND, eat this Chicken Soup! Jewish Penicillin.

Although I an a pescatarian and I don't eat chicken, I made this Chicken Soup for my dear darling Alessio who just returned from Thailand and immediately got the flu. Airplanes are an incubator.  

This soup isn't a broth, it's a meal. A healthy meal.  But if the person for whom you are cooking this is too ill to eat the healthy meal, I'll also show you how to make just the broth.  

Jewish mom's will note that this is not their Bubbe's recipe. It's updated and more like a meal.   

No, I'm not a doctor, just a Jewish Mother.
