Golden Chicken Soup
Packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, this light and comforting soup will warm you from the inside out. We’ve opted for giant couscous here, but you could use any type of pasta you like. This is a great opportunity to use up those odds and ends of pasta packets, you could even add a couple of different types to add some variety.
