Chicken soup

Chicken soup is a kind of food that people eat when they feel sick, like when they have a cold or the flu. It's usually made by boiling pieces of chicken in water with some vegetables and herbs, like carrots, onions, and celery. The chicken makes the soup taste good and adds protein, which is good for your body, and the veggies give you important vitamins and minerals that can help you feel better too. Some people think that chicken soup has magical powers that can help you get better faster, but that's not exactly true - it just makes you feel warm and cozy inside, which can help you relax and rest while your body fights off sickness.
