Chicken noodle soup is known as Jewish penicillin for the natural antibiotics found in it. The health giving properties are meant to come from the bones. This is why I make my own chicken stock from scratch. I make a bone broth to ensure the best for the stock. And use the stock for my soups and risottos.
Take a look at this inspiring recipe for ♥ Chicken Noodle Soup ♥ from Lavender and Lime #LavenderAndLime Share on X
The 7th of every month sees the Crazy Cooking Challenge reveal. This month we were challenged to make a chicken noodle soup. In trying to share with you bloggers from South Africa, I chose to make Spill’s recipe. Clare has an abiding passion for food, and also lives in the beautiful Western Cape. This dish was amazing – a must do again type of dish. It served us not only for supper, but for lunch for me the next day! It is delicious and the mint is a must have refreshing herb that compliments the dish so well.

Looks gorgeous and just what I fancy right now! Here in Andalucia they often serve chocken soup with noodles and a spring of mint – it really does lift the flavour.

That looks very enticing! I bet the ginger makes it taste very full of flavor too. Here is the link to mine: http://www.linkytools.com/click_linky.aspx?entryid=3594406
