A bowl of steaming Chicken Soup is the cure for almost anything. Easy to make and wholesome to eat, this soup is everybody’s favourite. Everyone has their version of it and my friend Ensiya shared hers with me. The addition of Celery and Lemon Grass adds fragrance to it and is great when you’re down with a cold.

I was waiting for this. Somehow have only made veg soups yet and was itching to make a chicken soup and thus is indeed the one I would like to try. Thanks for the recipe.
I have been waiting for this. Somehow was itching to make a non-veg soup and this looks like a perfect recipe to start. Thanks a lot.
I love soups. This is an easy recipe and healthy too. I never tried with lemon grass. Next time adding it for sure.
Love chicken soup. I am imagining the fragrance of celery and lemon grass in this soup and I so want to lift it off the laptop screen. Will try out your recipe, next time.
I’m a vegetarian and am so glad you gave a veg twist to it too. Will try this out. Sounds easy and healthy.
Lemongrass is the real game changer here. The aroma and taste of lemongrass and celery, both will impart unique character to the soup for sure. Will definitely turn out to be a winning star of the meal course!
Sounds delicious. I make a similar version, with coriander, and a bit of carrots and beans. Sometimes I add a teaspoon of barley.
Its difficult for me to get lemon grass and celery. But, I’ll try this one when those veggies are available.
Fantastic soup. The veggie option seems best.
I am not a soup fan, but during cold or migrains take refuge on soups. Somehow they get comforting only when in pain 😉
This clear is actually clear, unlike how we see out in resturants. Saving this for future Mayuri
