Jewish Chicken Soup
This traditional Jewish chicken soup is good for anything that ails you. It's the absolute best when you've got the flu, and it's great on the second and third day. This recipe was passed down from my great-grandmother who needed to make the matzoh balls as heavy as possible to feed a hungry family. You can cut the matzoh meal by 1/2 cup to lighten the load.
