Remember that series of books called Chicken Soup for the Soul? The named worked because it implied chicken soup is sooo good for your body and that the stories were going to do the same thing for your soul. But, funny enough, chicken soup itself is also so good for the soul. It warms you up from the inside out and makes you feel safe, happy, and cozy. When you’re sick, each spoonful tastes like soothing relief and healing. In other words, if you’re making this chicken soup on a freezing cold winter day, can you bring us a bowl?
