Page "Chicken soup" Paragraph 3

Chicken soup is a soup made from chicken, simmered with various other ingredients.

The classic American chicken soup consists of a clear broth, often with pieces of chicken or vegetables ; common additions are pasta ( e. g., noodles, although almost any form can be used ), dumplings, or grains such as rice and barley.

Chicken soup has also acquired the reputation of a folk remedy for colds and flus, and in many countries is considered a comfort food.
