There’s nothing more soothing and medicinal then chicken noodle soup.
But how do you get your baby to slurp up a bowl of Jewish penicillin? I made this for Kenya when he had a cold and poor little guy actually seemed to take a turn for the better.

Chicken is high in iron, which supports a healthy immune system. It also contains the antioxidant zinc, which protects babies against infection.
Studies have shown that chicken soup has properties that slow mucus production during illness. Whether this is true or not, I know tons of parents that want to believe anything in order to help their little one feel well. By no means does your baby have to be sick to enjoy chicken soup with stars. It’s super tasty and freezes beautifully.

  2. I want to try this recipe for my son…but he hasn’t had parsley or onions yet…what’s your advice for introducing other cooking ingredients or spices for an 11 month old? Does 4 day rule apply for spices as well? Thanks so much…your recipes and tips are awesome..So happy I found this website….

  3. Delicious! My little guy doesn’t want vegetables these days, so I figured this would be good since they’re pureed. I went to taste test it, and ended up eating a serving myself. It is simple, healthy, and tasty!
