Sohla El-Waylly: This recipe, posted on Serious Eats, is the only one to first brown the chicken pieces before simmering to make the broth. This soup stays very simple, with just chicken breasts, orecchiette for the noodles, fresh dill, and a squeeze of lemon.

For others, it’s cough drops and a box of tissues. While we can’t offer you blanket-sized tissues, a canned soup company has announced the next best thing: soup-flavoured cough drops. Yes, really. While one foodie writer said he’d ‘rather be sick’ than pop a Progresso ‘Soup Drop’ ever again,

Each order of 20 drops comes in a container resembling Progresso’s actual soup cans and is accompanied by a can of actual Progresso Traditional Chicken Noodle Soup. The cost of both is $2.49, plus 99 cents shipping.
