Everyone's favorite
It doesn't matter what kind of soup you ate as a child—whether it was your grandmother's dumpling soup or a spicy one with curry paste and lime juice. One thing is certain: chicken soup is a bridge between cultures. Since time immemorial, people all over the world have simmered chicken and vegetables in homemade broth. Some variations are spicy, others milder; some contain coconut milk and tomatoes, while others rely on a clear broth. And while you'll always have a soft spot for the soup you grew up with, these dishes from different countries are worthy of a place on your table.
Matzo Dumpling Soup
This classic dumpling soup is a dish that's sure to cure any ailment. Using chicken fat from the broth and sparkling water, you'll get incredibly light dumplings.

Arroz caldo
This thick Filipino soup gets its rich flavor from ginger and roasted garlic. Saffron, a Spanish influence on Filipino cuisine, adds a golden hue. If you can find calamondins, a small Filipino lime, you can substitute them for regular limes.

Moroccan chicken and vegetable soup
This flavorful soup is a great way to use up leftover grilled chicken. Even if you only have half a chicken left, you can use any part of it.

Thai Chicken Curry Soup
For a simple, flavorful soup, use boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs. Freshly squeezed lime juice and plenty of fresh herbs help soften the heat of the curry paste.

Samgyetang
This simplified version of a stimulating Korean soup uses ginger and shallots in the broth, and replaces the classic sticky rice with regular steamed rice. Traditional samgyetang is made with a whole young chicken or Cornish hen, ginseng root, and jujube (also known as Chinese or Korean dates). It is typically prepared in the height of summer to "fight fire with fire," during the hottest days of the lunar year.

Ajiaco
This Colombian soup is served in Bogotá restaurants and is considered "comfort food." It contains three different types of potatoes, but we've simplified the recipe to use two (Yukon Gold and purple potatoes, though the latter can be substituted with Red Bliss). The toppings add a bright note and liven up the soup.

Caldo Verde with Chicken
This Portuguese soup is traditionally served at weddings and festivals, and the recipe varies from family to family. It's often made with kale or collard greens. For convenience, we use regular chorizo instead of Portuguese chorizo (a similar cured sausage). The soup thickens as it sits. When reheating, add a little broth and water to thin it out.
