Winter Warming Chicken Soup

"Yes! I have named this a winter warmer chicken soup but truthfully this chicken soup is a lot more than just a plain chicken soup, it’s a meal in its own rights. Besides, it can be served any time of the year but when the weather turns cool, this soup is an absolute staple. It is packed with vitamins and proteins you can add whatever you like chicken, beef, lamb or pork but also do you want to keep it vegetarian you can add beans lentils chickpeas you name it. Make it entirely your own and I promise you it is going to be a delicious bowl of soup."

NotesThe meat can be replaced with any meat you like, pork, lamb or beef. I do go crazy sometimes and mix the meats which is something that I really enjoy doing with soups, stews and casseroles. On the other hand if you want to keep it vegetarian, drop in 4-5 eggs (I love ?? egg in soups and I recall asking my mum to drop few eggs in and I prayed they’ll all end up in my bowl. I don’t know whether was my prayers or my mums serving manners but I always did get my eggs in my soup every time. Bless her. She always knew and knows how to make me happy. Oh, well.....Happy times! ?
