My mom used to make this soup for me whenever I was sick. It would always make me feel better. Makes about 8 cups of soup

Found a vegan recipe here and used it as insperation for this recipe. The first bite kick me in the back of my throat but after that it was really good, a little hot and a little sweet.

Cooking and eating are interwoven with my life experiences and memories. Although I do not have a collection of cookbooks in my kitchen, I do have a collection of vivid memories from childhood, from travelling, from work, and of the people I’ve met or grew up with. My memories are always combined with and connected to those of certain dishes.I love to tell stories and to cook; in fact, there is a unique connection at a very basic, universal level between the recipes and the stories; between receiving and giving, between biology and psychology. I learned or remembered the tastes of most of the dishes I create by remembering their aromas.My recipes are predominantly Middle Eastern in origin, with others from Latin America and North America, Asia and Africa. In almost all I’ve altered the ingredients somewhat from the traditional recipes to reflect the flavors that have evolved in my version of these dishes over the yearsThis Lebanese soup is a meal in itself if served with bread. It’s a great winter dish as it is very hearty and incredibly healthy. It is also very easy to make.This recipe is taken from my book "Scents of Memory: A Delicious Fusion of Stories and Healthy, Affordable Recipes from Around the World." Please check it out on Amazon

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 favorite comfort soup! Not only is it vegetarian, it’s packed with protein from red and yellow lentils. Add a handful of fresh spinach for a balanced, delicious meal.

When you feel a little down and need some good chicken soup!

During Ramadan, whether it happens to be summer or winter, this yellow lentil soup always makes an appearance. So hearty and satisfying, it makes the perfect starter after a long day of fasting. Lentil soups are a staple in the Middle-East and this one is no exception. #soupcontest

On a frigid night my friend Carl came to have dinner at my place and I made this simple, tasty, warming soup that I found in an old issue of Epicurious.#soup #carrots #Morocco ##Moroccan

This is the lightest way to make lentil soup. In the other method, you fry onions in ghee and pour them over the soup at the end, but that can cause heartburn.

This soup is super nutritious! I recommend this for anyone suffering from cold spells.Bulk up the soup by cracking an egg into the soup at the end of cooking. Recipe by salaam.

Sometimes I grate some carrot and put it in while the soup stands for a little texture. Yummy and sweet and good for a low fat diet!
