It's flu season, people, and we'd better get ready. People on public transit and in the offices are starting to sniffle and cough, germs are flying, and people are indoors all day, breathing in each other's nastiness.
As soon as you feel a slight scratch in the throat, or at the first sign of a sniffle, prepare one of these two soups so that you'll be ready when the cold hits full-force. If you're already being held hostage by a cold or flu, now's the time to get cooking.
One soup is the classic chicken noodle soup made by mothers, grandmothers, dads, grandfathers, friends, and roommates the world over to heal a sickie in their life. The other soup is a vegan option for those who have opted to cut out meat but still need to get over a brutal cold and want to enjoy an Asian-style noodle soup. Both are delicious and both will help you feel like life is worth living again.
Classic Chicken Noodle Soup from The Kitchn. This recipe covers all the bases. It's easy to make, even when impeded by an almighty case of the sniffles. It's flavorful and savory thanks to the onions, garlic, chicken thighs and broth, and it's got enough veggies to get you back on your feet.
Whatever your preference, these soups are both simple to make and will help you want to see the light of day once again. If you're reading this with a tissue in hand and a mug of tea next to you, feel better!
