Oh, homemade chicken soup is just the best, isn't it? There's nothing quite like simmering up a big pot of comfort on a chilly day. I like to toss in some veggies, maybe some noodles or rice, and let it all cook together until it's bursting with flavor. It's like a warm hug in a bowl!

Homemade chicken soup is the best comfort food! I usually add a bit of fresh thyme and a splash of lemon juice to brighten it up. What do you like to add to yours?
