Homeade chicken soup from scratch just like my Mama made it! “From scratch” sounds scary, but this recipe is SUPER easy, calls for only 5 ingredients, and can be on the family dinner table in under an hour! Best of all, it tastes just like childhood
Chicken soup is perfect for this (almost) February cold weather, and heals any and all ailments. Yes, I live in San Diego. Yes, it still gets cold here. Maybe I’m just a wuss, but man do I hate the cold!
Everyone seems to be sick right now. More than half the people at my “real job” have been out sick this week, even my Peanut Princess niece is sick on the other side of the country!
I’m telling ya I beat the odds by making this super yummy soup on Monday and eating it allllllllllllllll week long. I even recruited my 8 year old Twin boys to help because it is that simple to make. Simple = Deliciousness.
I’d love to hear if you’ve tried this Homeade Soup recipe out or if you have a Chx Soup version you’d like to share.
Until next time…
Stay Crafty San Diego!

Notes
**Some Tips. You can easily cut this recipe in half, or double it accommodate your needs. Buy the baby carrots that are pre-peeled to save time on peeling! I swear by the Herb ox brand Bouillon cubes, although you can use whichever brand you prefer. You may need to taste the broth as it’s near done and add more cubes and/or pepper to taste. ENJOY!
