From a nutritional point of view this soup is a real winner, chock full of health boosting herbs and spices, fresh seasonal veggies, clean protein and gut healing stock.
As I always recommend, don't skimp on the quality of the produce you are using in this soup. The health benefits of this dish are significantly boosted if you choose free range organic chicken, homemade bone broth and organic vegetables, as fresh as possible.
