Your Chicken Soup Guide

 

Cooking Tip

Making your chicken soup from scratch? Use an older bird - like a 5-7 pound roaster. The older birds will have been around long enough to develop that wonderful, rich chicken-y flavor and taste that make for a great soup. They really do make for a better broth than the younger and smaller chickens.
