HOW MUCH SALT TO ADD TO SOUP RECIPES

BASIC CHICKEN SOUP RECIPE | MARTHA STEWART

Basic Chicken Soup Recipe | Martha Stewart image

Everyone has their own favorite chicken soup recipe, but rarely have so few ingredients added up to so much comfort. This version has classic flavors and, thanks to a simplified method, cooks more quickly than traditional chicken soups (the dish is ready in a little over an hour). There's no need to make a separate stock; the vegetables and meat form their own satisfying broth.
