When your lover is bed-bound, feeling under the weather with a cold, this soup will warm their heart and soul. This is a fast recipe to make because I buy a precooked rotisserie chicken for my local market–a simple solution for if you have a busy schedule. This soup is so easy to prepare and so soothing– a true comfort food.  I personally like to add a bit of an Italian flair with a pinch of red pepper flakes and grated Parmesan Cheese.
