Lar's Homemade Chicken Soup A must make Fall family favorite! Lets Start this Holiday Series out with a great recipe that is a staple in our house when the cool weather sets in. Also,w hen my family has a cold or is just feeling run down I like to whip up a batch of my chicken soup. This recipe always hits the spot and I swear it really does make you feel better. Smokin Hot Hubby had surgery a few years back and I made him a batch. He healed better and quicker than the doctor said he would. I believe all the nutrients and vitamins in the soup had a helping hand in making that happen. The recipe is very versatile. You can mix and match the veggies you put in, for example, kale instead of spinach. I add TONS of celery because, according to Smokin, there is never enough celery! My daughter adds more carrots when she cooks this soup. So play around with the veggies. Cooking is a lot about finding what works for you in a recipe and tweaking it to make it your own....
