Chicken soup never hurt anyone; in fact it cures almost everything, including our soul. Makes me wonder if there is anyone out there that don’t like chicken soup when they are sick. Really? When you are growing up and you are sick, all you want is chicken soup and your mama. These days we don’t have to spend hours roasting a chicken, we buy them already roasted. That makes me really happy, since I don’t have to wait to make one of my all-times favorite; chicken soup. Approximate prep and cooking time: 25 Minutes Approximate Cost: $5.45 or $1.36/serving) Servings: 4 Ingredients 2 stalks of celery (.25) 1 large carrot (.25) 1 large onion (.50) 2 tbsp.
