Recipe Chicken Soup For Cold

This chicken soup recipe has been updated and adapted for the Instant Pot — this post includes all kinds of variations and tips! –> The Best Instant Pot Chicken Soup

And that’s when BabyGirl doesn’t have a cold. Add snot and excessive drooling from teething, and I’m lucky if I can keep my shoulders slime-free for more than 15 minutes.

Unfortunately she wasn’t the only one who had a cold last week. It made its way through all of us. Because we don’t jump to the medicine cabinet for every sniffle, we went through all of our usual natural remedies (supplements, essential oils, vapo-rub, baths, smoothies, fresh air, lots of cuddling) including a couple of new ones I discovered from our Facebook chat. (Thanks, by the way!)

Easy Buffalo Chicken Soup Recipe For Cold Winter Days

Recurring mentions of lemon, ginger, and garlic swirled in my little head, and since I was planning on making chicken soup for the kids, I threw those in for good measure. I also used coconut oil and homemade bone broth in the soup, both of which do your body good.

Adding ginger to the soup, I expected it to have a strong ginger flavor, but it just had more flavor in general. I made it the next day without ginger (we ran out. boo.) and I could tell a big difference. Not nearly as flavorful.

Instant Pot Directions: Do the first 3 steps in the Instant Pot with the Saute mode. (Make sure the pot is preheated all the way before you add the chicken.) After adding the chicken & broth, switch to Manual mode on high pressure for 8-10 minutes depending on the size and thickness of your chicken breasts. Follow the rest of the directions as usual.

Cold Fighting Couscous Chicken Soup

I hope you all have recovered! It's bad enough taking care of a sick grown person. I can't imagine having to deal with multiple little ones.

And this looks great! I'm not a soup fan but the husband is so I'll save this for the next cold. :) And love the ginger addition!

I made this last night and it was great...the ginger really did add a lot! As a side note, my husband is a semi-picky eater (I am not). Cooking for him since we have been married (2 yrs next month!) has been more of a challenge than I was used it (I love veggies, he loves meat ;) ). It has become a joke in our house because I have found that if you post a recipe and your daughters were big fans, typically he is a big fan as well. Your daughters' stamps of approval mean a lot at our house to the point that if he really likes dinner he asks if it is from that blog :D

Basic Chicken Soup

I'm so glad you liked it! That's really funny about your husband! I've had to use similar techniques to get my dad to eat veggies. I have to think of him in terms of a picky 4-year-old. But he's far pickier than my kids!

I truly believe in the healing powers of chicken soup and it's safe to say you've taken it up a notch with some great additions!

I was so excited to see this recipe. I have a cold/sore throat right now, and I'm going to buy the ingredients tomorrow to make this asap. It sounds so soothing right now!
