.How about a recipe for chicken soup
With actual chicken and vegetables.
I have a very funny story about chicken soup.

A young lady was sick with the flue and I volunteered to bring her some chicken soup.
I made my favorite soup and i brought her some.
I will never forget her reaction,she said "Oh it has chicken"
At first I could not understand but then I realized can soup has traces of chicken and probably she never had home made chicken soup rich and delicious a meal on it's own.
 Needles to say she loved it.

Here is my favorite recipe.

I would use 1/2 of a chicken
.Wash chicken and remove all visible fat.
Place the chicken in a large pot with water to cover.
Start the cooking proses ,when it starts to boil froth will accumulate on the sides,remove it with a large spoon.
The more you remove the better your soup will be
.At this point you can add ;
1 onion cut in 4
 2 carrots and 2 celery stalks diced.
3 cloves of garlic(helps to take away the smell of the chicken).
2 potato's diced
I love to add 1 lemon the juice.

Season with Salt and pepper,adjust the heat to low and let simmer for 30 min
.At this point debone the chicken, cut in small pieces and put back in your soup
.If you like add some noodles,and you have a delicious soup made from scratch that you will love.
