Easy, fast and efficient, right?
Nothing to do with industrial recipes:so delicious, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
Plus, all your little sore throats and colds will soon be just a bad memory.
I'm sure this mythical recipe will become a staple in your family. Bon appetit!
If possible, take organic vegetables so that you can keep their skins which are full of nutrients for the body.
Know that you can also add 5 stalks of celery to the recipe and of course vermicelli to make it even better!
Obviously instead of using chicken, you can also replace it with a hen. It's just as delicious, just a little fattier.
For leftover chicken, you can use them in another dish:shell the carcass and sauté the meat with rice and onions for example. Mmm too good!
