The simple down-home goodness of this soup­—chock full of vegetables, hand-cut noodles and fragrant fresh herbs—has made it a veritable cure for colds and other minor ailments. Maybe it’s the science of cooking; maybe it’s love. One thing is for sure—it’s pure comfort. For a vegetarian version that’s just as soothing, use vegetable stock and omit the chicken.
