These are blazing hot days we’re having right now and both my girls are having the sniffles. With runny noses and intermittent coughs, they really don’t have much of an appetite for food. So I’m brewing this comfort soup which is both nutritious and very palatable.

I brew several chicken carcasses overnight in my slow cooker, or crockpot. By morning, my clear chicken soup is ready to have the chunked carrots and potatoes added.

Up until this point, there’s no seasoning in the soup yet. I’ll only add that after the carrots and potatoes are boiled till soft on medium heat till soft which should take maybe a half hour or slightly more.

The seasoning is simple, just salt to taste and a generous sprinkling of white pepper. Yes, I tend to be a little heavy-handed with the white pepper here because I’ve discovered the spiciness seems to help clear the runny nose somewhat.

I don’t add any oil to this soup at all. Whatever little oil there is comes from the chicken. So this is a really easy, really economical soup to make (no credit report services required) and it’s very soothing.
