Chicken Soup – Protein Style

1 Comment 09 December 2009

In last weeks post, I mentioned that chicken soup is great for colds. It’s one of the few common cold remedies that holds it’s ground. It’s also a great comfort food, and with all this snow everyone could use a nice hot bowl of soup. So I thought it would be fun to post a great chicken soup recipe I found on AllRecipes.com. This isn’t your traditional chicken soup, but it’s got a delicious twist to it.
