This is the soup I want when I’m under the weather. The soup is very lightly seasoned with only a little salt and some poultry seasoning, just enough to add some flavor but not bother the palate when I’m not feeling well. I usually make a batch once every three months or so and freeze it so that I always have some ready to pull out.

My toddler and preschooler like this, but managing the broth is still a challenge for their self-feeding skills. So I just ladle up the noodles, meat, and vegetables and drain off much of the broth for them. Cut up the noodles so that it’s easier for the little ones to pick up with utensils, or their fingers if they are still at that stage.
