I hate to say it, but I was inspired to write this post after a days-long bout with the flu that left me craving chicken soup. And lots of it. While chicken noodle soup is the always-beloved standard, there are many other options out there that are equally simple to make at home to satisfy the wearied winter belly. I began researching and whipping up soups with global influences and more complex spice profiles, all the while discovering some new favorite recipes I'll continue to recreate in sickness and in health.

A great roundup of chicken soups. I'd love to try them all.
My favorite comfort soup is Ina's Italian wedding soup http://www.marinmamacooks.com/2012/12/italian-wedding-soup/. It's my go-to chicken noodle soup and it uses chicken meatballs instead of shredded chicken. I'm also not a big fan of noodles in my soup, I use Fregola Sarda pasta instead of noodles, as they are chewier and don't get as mushy as noodles.
Thanks for the links! We've been seriously into Italian Chicken Soup from The Pioneer Woman lately.
