    Everyone needs a bowl of Comfort chicken soup on cold days. This soup is what I have whenever I have a cold or just need something light and warm!

    This Comfort Chicken soup is perfect for chilly days!

    Every family has its own comfort chicken soup because every family member catches cold every fall or winter! In my case, this is our comfort chicken soup for sick days which is different from my maman's, but when your maman lives on the other side of the world, you have no choice except making your own comfort soup when the cold hits you.

    Cold weather brings me the message of "You are going to catch a cold quite soon". Every. Single. Year. I always catch a deadly cold in the first week of cold weather no matter where I am, Iran, Turkey or the U.S. This year it got worse because guess what? We are in Ithaca now! Which means it's just going to get colder and colder!

    The first day we arrived, I knew something was off about my health and yes, the next morning this is what happened to me: pain in every inch of my body, headache, runny nose and teary eyes. OK, I got it. EMERGENCY.

    As much as I love this creamy cheesy soup of mine, I knew I needed something healthy to get better. Lucky we went grocery shopping the night before.

    First thing I did was to cut some chicken breast into chunks and put a pot over medium heat. As the  olive oil was getting hot in the pot I diced some garlic and onion then sautéd them, added chicken and some carrots, potatoes, some spices and then a can of chicken broth. 10 minutes before I served the soup, I added frozen peas and that was it!

    The only special thing about this soup is turmeric. This spice is magical and we use it in almost every meal we make in Iran. It gives beautiful color to the food and is really good for you. It also tastes wonderful, like a kick to make the food more exciting!

    Here is the recipe to this super nutritious healthy comfort chicken soup. Take good care of yourself in this cold weather and stay healthy!

      Looks delicious! I love chunky soups, much more comforting than the blended versions 🙂

      My family adores soup, especially in the fall. This version of Chicken Noodle looks amazing, and I'll have to give it a try.
