How healthy is Chicken Soup?
Everyone is eating chicken soup when they are sick. But is it just a myth or is there really something in the chicken soup?
To answer this question, first, we have to define what type of chicken soup there is. We have made a home chicken soup from scratch like this recipe, and store-bought soup. These types of chicken soup have a huge difference. Store-bought soups are full of sodium, but they are seriously lacking in vegetables and meat. Furthermore, meat and vegetables are the things that make soup healthy.
Chicken soup is an amazing source of proteins, minerals, vitamins, and electrolytes. These are all things that are making us healthy. They are especially important when we are sick, not feeling okay, or having problems with our stomach.
Eating a plate of soup will make us feel better, give us enough liquids to not be dehydrated, and give us much-needed energy.
Chicken is rich in carnosine, and this amino acid helps our body with fighting infections.
Besides that, chicken is full of proteins.
Vegetables are full of vitamins and minerals. By eating soup, we are absorbing those vitamins and minerals.
In short, homemade soup is an amazing thing for us. It helps us to be healthy, and when we are sick, it helps us get better quicker.

How to store Chicken Soup?
Refrigerator
You can store this Chicken Soup with root vegetables in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer
You can freeze this soup for up to 3 months in an airtight container. When freezing, make sure not to fill the container to the very top, as soup expands as it freezes. Leave about 1 inch of space at the top of the container to allow for expansion while keeping air exposure to a minimum to prevent freezer burn.
Garnish for this meal
Garnish can elevate how the food looks, and it can make it look more appetizing. However, garnish can be a spot where alliums are hiding. In this recipe, I garnished my plate with freshly chopped parsley.
