What better way to warm up on a cold winter day than a steaming bowl of gorgeous chicken broth? I often drink this in a mug just as I would coffee. And as Mom used to say, "Chicken broth IS good for colds"!

Chickens and I must be relatives. I love any dish with chicken in it! 5

Love "from scratch" brothy chicken noodle soup and often make it in fall and winter to take to sick friends (and in this senior development, this can be a frequent event)! I like to see basic recipes on this food site, particularly for new, young cooks, don't you? (Ok, I don't want to sound egotistical, but please check out my turkey stock recipe, which I make for the Thanksgiving holiday each year.)Thanks for this post!
