Chicken noodle soup will never, ever go out of style. More so, bone broths and stocks are actually in fashion right not – at least, according to us. We’re digging old-school bone broths for their myriad health benefits and because we can feel that soothing effect right down to our, well, bones.
We’re head over heels for this genius chicken soup dupe by nutrition consultant, Molly Molofsky over at Cameron Diaz’s Our Body Book. Swapping egg noodles for spiralized zucchini noodles (we’re hooked.) has to be the best thing to happen to chicken soup since the dumpling…
