Nourishing Chicken Soup Recipe | Stroller in the City


If you’re looking for that perfect fall recipe, then this Golden Chicken Soup with couscous is just for you. I like to call it sweater in a bowl! My golden chicken soup is a family favorite that combines the warmth of homemade soup with the rich flavors of tender chicken and aromatic spices. This beloved recipe starts with simmering succulent chicken pieces in a fragrant broth, infused with earthy turmeric, and garlic, giving the soup its distinctive golden hue.

Vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions add a delightful crunch, while fresh herbs such as rosemary contribute to its refreshing aroma. The soup is often seasoned to perfection with a touch of salt and pepper, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. Served steaming hot, this golden chicken soup provides comfort and nourishment, making it a cherished classic in my kitchen! If you have an instant pot and you want to make your own chicken broth with shredded chicken, that’s even better for homemade fall soups.

I want this recipe for the colder months to be practical and easy to do on a weeknight. Rotisserie chicken is an easy addition for this best recipe because you don’t have to cook the chicken. It has savory flavor and makes for great leftover chicken for lunches. This comfort food can be swapped in for egg noodles or orzo pasta on a chilly fall day. Let’s get started on this rich broth!

The Soup

This is a step up from chicken noodle soup. The best part is that it makes a ton, so it can last in an airtight container for about 3-4 days for your healthy chicken soup fix. With flu season upon us, it’s great for your immune system! Homemade broth is even better if you’re able to make it next time and of course, a slow cooker works as well. If you don’t have too much time on your hands, a crock pot can do a lot of the work for you! This is a great recipe to have on hand all season long into the winter and the prep time is only 15-20 minutes. Take the bay leaf out before consuming this nutritious soup, though! Avoid sore throats with the anti-inflammatory properties in this nourishing chicken soup recipe.
