Best Absolute Best Chicken Soup Recipes
ABSOLUTE BEST CHICKEN SOUP
This is a family recipe I stumbled upon through marriage. It is a Latin-style chicken soup and it is the best I have tasted. Basically, my mother-in-law makes this soup with a few founding ingredients and then throws in whatevers available. Its always good, but I've narrowed it down for myself and you to the best ingredients to use. This recipe is great for serving to a large amount of people. *Note: You use a whole (8-piece cut) chicken if you want to serve 6-8, but if you are serving more than 6, for the purposes of the stock, use only split leg quarters. The recipe is best when fresh ingredients are used, especially cilantro. Don't even bother with the recipe if you don't have fresh cilantro. After the chicken is fully cooked, you can try to fish it out and separate the meat from the bones, but I don't usually bother with it.

ABSOLUTE BEST CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP EVER
I got this recipe from a website for which I've long since lost the address. I wish I could credit the author, because this is truly an amazing soup! I'd recommend not skipping the avocados--they are what puts it over the top, in my opinion.

FLUFFSTER'S ABSOLUTE BEST CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
There's just something about homemade chicken noodle soup! It's comforting, warming, and if you have the sniffles,the aromatics in it may even just help you breathe better. I love this soup and I love making it. I make mine with the ingredients my family likes, so feel free to leave some of the ingredients out, or add some of your own personal ingredients. I love tarragon, and love it in my chicken noodle soup, but if you don't like it, by all means leave it out. *Adding the uncooked noodles to the soup will give the broth a little body. If you want your soup to be more on the brothy side, cook the noodles per instructions, then add them to the soup. **When making soups that contain any type of pasta, the pasta will absorb a lot of the broth, so as in this recipe, you may or may not need extra broth. All of the seasonings here can and should be, to taste, so taste your soup throught the cooking process. You may use leftover turkey if you have it. I have left out salt in the ingredient list. Bouillon is very salty, so make sure you taste before adding any salt. Please use white pepper if possible, it really makes a difference! recipe, I like to juilenne my veggies, or cut them on the bias, (diagonal). You may choose to simply chop them, which is just fine.
