Chicken Soup
They have said for centuries that Chicken soup is nature’s antibiotic. I always think of my mother when I make this soul food. It was always a staple in our home when I was growing up. As the weather gets cooler, it is the perfect time to whip up this delicious chicken soup recipe.
You will need:
- 7 ltr and cover

Method
1. Place chicken, whole onion, 2 carrots, 3 sticks of celery with leaves and stock cubes into the 7 ltr. Cover with water.

3. Remove chicken and discard vegetables and strain if need be until you are left with the liquid.
