Absolutely, positively, without any shadow of a doubt, my mom's homemade chicken soup.
One day I'll et her to reveal the recipe (even though there are small changes every time it's made) and I'll expose its deliciousness to the rest of the world!
What I do know is that she uses a capon chicken (whatever that means) which I guess is not typically used in soups. The broth is very light and includes a hint of tomato (and delicious
) and it includes celery and carrots as vegetables. As far as noodles she uses Kluski noodles (again, I just buy the stuff so I don't really know the difference between those noodles and other types). It takes her all day to make it - I think the total time is something like 7 to 8 hours.
It's so good that when she makes it I will call any of my friends I can to come over for dinner that night (it's made in large amounts - typically enough for 3 or 4 nights of dinner) and my brother will get upset if we don't invite his family over as well. And he also tries to steal one or two frozen containers of leftovers if he visits and there's any in the freezer!
mmmm, I can't wait until winter when she makes it again
