What goes in your chicken soup recipe?

[Sayithowiseeit]

We are all ill and I like to make a nice chicken soup when we're unwell.

So what goes in yours please? Any magic ingredients? I usually do:
Chicken
Carrots
Leek
Celery
Potatoes
Chicken stock
Onion
Bay leaves
Salt and pepper

It feels like its missing something?

I don't really have a recipe as I tend to make it with whatever I have to hand... but I do sometimes make a specific chicken and sweetcorn soup. I only ever make it with chicken stock/juices from a roast chicken and leftover chicken scraps, plus sweet corn of course. Stock is made from bones with carrot, onion, celery etc. In it

Thank you, ive got a whole chicken so i think ill roast it first and use the juices. Thank you, ill definitely throw the bones in the soup too!

I sometimes add pearl barley if I want a thicker chicken and veg soup, as well as fresh thyme and bay leaves.

I was raised to make it with dill and flat-leaf parsley.

Chicken
onion
ginger
garlic
pepper corns
salt to
taste

This just makes you better.

Thank you, I made the soup, and added a load of spinach. It was a very nutritious soup.
