Some things are reflexive. Feeling yucky but hungry? Ninety-nine times out of one hundred, chicken soup fits the bill. Science has shown that chicken soup clears sinuses, but really did we need the PhDs to tell us what grandmothers have known since time immemorial? “Drink this and you’ll feel better,” was what my nana used to say, and boy was she right. I’ve honored her recipe here in all ways but one: instead of using old-fashioned egg noodles, I’ve taken a handheld spiralizer and run a zucchini through it. When you put these zucchini noodles in at the end of the simmering time, they have an al dente texture. It really completes the soup, and it will help you feel right as rain.
