I dedicate this soup to my sister who needs to get well and this yummy meal is exactly what she needs. As it turns out, it’s not a myth– chicken soup will make you feel better when “under-the-weather!” It’s been proven that the proteins in chicken help combat the flu… check out this link https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/qa/does-chicken-soup-help-fight-colds
Hopefully, it will help others feel better even just a little, especially during these times with the nasty Covid19 or at least it will warm the soul. The picture above was taken by my friend, Florence. She had been dealing with a nasty flu and I brought it to her house for lunch. She loved it.
I discovered this soup, thanks to my sister! I got to visit her in Peru twice when she lived there. We had amazing food and of course delicious chicken soup.
This is not the exact recipe and maybe not be the real Peruvian way to make it, but my husband and I love it. It’s time consuming, but not difficult-so make a huge batch and freeze it! It’s especially great when I don’t feel like cooking-just pull it out of the freezer, heat it up and have a nice and satisfying meal!
The added zing of lemon and fresh cilantro makes it unique and delicious. For those of you who don’t like cilantro-add some parsley, chives, tarragon, mint, or basil… or if you love herbs… add them all!
Just don’t forget the lemon! Serve this with rice, potatoes, pasta, crusty rustic bread….
My husband adds even more spice with his favorite green tabasco. https://www.tabasco.com/hot-sauces/green-jalapeno-sauce/
Hi I’m Karine. This photo is me goofing off, trying to be the mid-century housewife in our kitchen in California. We now live in Detroit, Michigan –a big change and a bigger kitchen! But no matter where I live food and cooking remains my passion. I hope I can motivate you, give you ideas or share with each other food stories, cooking dreams and goals.
