Looking for a twist of health to ordinary chicken soup

We went to Rancourt winery in Niagara on the lake for their ice wine festival. This was served with their ice wine. I have added more vegetables and spice because I like a thicker soup.

I've been thinking that using boiled chicken soup instead of soup stockcubes must give out really good umami-rich flavor. I made this soup as an experiment.-You won't need any soup stock cubes since you're using the leftover soup after boiling some chicken (please refer to. It has a mild yet very savory taste.-Take care not to boil the soup after adding the soy milk and heavy cream in Step 6. Recipe by Sabao

very tasty add more chili powder and cayenne to make hotter

my favorite chicken soup of all time!! :hungry

everytime it rains my grandma use to cook this soup

I'm a great fan of chicken soup as a natural cure for all ills, and I liked the idea of giving it an Italian twist. The original recipe uses cooked shredded chicken, but I didn't have any so I decided to buy a whole chicken, use some meat from that, use the carcass to make my own stock, and freeze whatever I didn't use for the soup. I asked the butcher to debone the chicken for me. Also, I used the last bit of my garden basil but you can use dried (as the original recipe does).

My workplace has this soup every Friday. I didn't just want to wait till Friday of the following week to have the soup so I hunted a recipe down! A mention about the lemon grass, remove the outer layers, finely chop a length about 4-5 inches long, then chop it again! Or put it in one of those mini choppers if you have one.. you want it as finely chopped as possible. And last but not least, thank you as always to my hubby for the photography of my cooking!!
