QUICK CHICKEN SOUP | HOW TO FEED YOURSELF WHEN SICK 

Here's the Ingredient list for you lovely people...take care of yourselves! Ingredients: 1 Rotisserie Chicken, pulled 6 Garlic Cloves, smashed and chopped 4 Thyme Sprigs 1 Rosemary Sprig 6 Small Carrots (2-3 Big Carrots) halved and cut in half moons or diced 2-3 Celery Stalks, Quartered and diced 1-2 Onions 1 Small Bunch of Kale (or as much as you like) A Few Fresh Parsley Sprigs (for garnish) 2 Bay Leaves 1 Lemon, for juicing after plating the soup 8 Cups (or 2 Boxes) Organic Chicken Stock (Trader Joe’s is my personal fav and the cheapest I’ve seen) 1/4-1/2 Cup of Pastina or your favorite pasta (depending on how much soup you’re making) Parmesan Cheese (for garnish) 1/4 Cup Frank’s Red Hot (plus more for garnish) 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Suprised you didnt pour the soup straight on the bord

We called chicken soup, pastina. That’s what my nonna called it. Haven’t had it in years. Going to have to make some and keep it in the freezer.

This was like a cross between a cooking tutorial and a hug. Also I think I have an unhealthy dependency on Frank's, I'm glad to see another junky.

I make my homemade chicken soup in a big batch and always stick a few pints of the soup and broth in the freezer. It keeps good for a year. The noodles are more soggy after defrosting but it’s still very good. I wrote that before you mentioned that exact issue 😆 I’ve never added kale to my chicken soup. Interesting. I always boil a whole, cut up raw chicken. I then debone that meat. That way I’m using good bone broth and don’t need chicken stock.

This makes the BEST chicken soup! Thank you for sharing!

Made this soup twice now, I love it.

Yours is my favorite cooking channel. I loooove all your recipes.

Still my go to chicken soup recipe.

Been super sick the last couple days, pretty sure its a sinus infection i get around 2-3 of them every year, going to make this im sure it will be great keep you posted =)

Like ur style of videos it’s different. The Way it’s shot and music is dope .

Just like Nona used to make 👍

Best background mysic

college inn is the best chicken broth I MO 😘

Che Bello ragazzo 💙

This is PERFECT for covid! :)

Have ever considered make chicken broth by yourself in a preasure cooker? It's the fastesr way and the broth tastes amazing. And you don't need to waste rotisserie chicken, you will have a plenty of tender chciken meat from the broth. I just don't see the point to buy chicken stock when you can cook so good 😎

Who is here during Coronavirus 2020?

Why didn't you pour the soup directly on the cutting board? I want a refund.

damn you made enough soup for being sick for 2 weeks.

The music is always fire in the videos!

"We're sick today so we don't wanna do too much work in the kitchen we just wanna get it over with" *Cooks for an hour*

Hope you're felling better, dude. I'm sure that soup helps :)

You just know that if you were dating him and you got sick he would treat you right.

5:36 - Soooo, it's basically like a two-part epoxy.....

I've seen a few videos on your channel, and I've been intrigued...... But after watching this video, I'm now truly a fan. This video is a piece of art. I now can't wait to be sick again

Only legends tell you to skip their own video.

For a single woman who is sick and home alone, the only thing more comforting than making soup is watching a cute guy like yourself make soup. Thank you ;)

I think I'm actually going to deviate from my favorite homemade chicken noodle to try this succulent masterpiece. Nicely done!

Mr. Cusato, Sorry to hear you are sick. But a lovely soup indeed, like those moms used to cook. May I suggest a HOT TODDY DRINK with loads of ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, cloves, lemon and a hint of bourbon? that boosts myself even when i'm not sick. hope you get well soon.

The opening sequence made me subscribe immediately. Good job, sir!

I knew we were going to have a snowstorm today in NYC so I bought a rotisserie chicken last night, had a small piece of it and saved the rest for the soup today. I made it and just had two bowls 😋...it was delicious. I have a ton left that I'll both refrigerate and freeze for another time. Thanks for this recipe!

I have a combination of seasonal allergies and a head cold right now 😡 I hate being sick!! This looks so yummy and cozy, can’t wait to make! Also, love the short cut of a rotisserie chicken, they are very underrated! Hope you feel better soon!!

Finally made this last night. My dude, it was amazing. I almost left the franks sauce out, but decided to add it, and I’m glad I did. I’ve learned so much from you (weekday sauce, ziti, oven baked buffalo wings, etc.) over the past few months. Thanks for all you do.

Love the music mix and the editing in this video, as well as all the wise advice as you prepare the soup and make enough to set lots aside with pasta stars and cheese to add when in final prep for eating. Now I'm thinking of putting up one of these soups in containers, freezing them to be ready for when I get a cold or just am in the mood for some chicken soup.

Just made this for a cutie who's under the weather. Definitely scored some points, at least I hope I did lol.. This was a mighty fine dish.

oh shit.. This is the first video of yours that I'm watching and I wasn't expecting such a handsome thing to pop up at 0:36 goddamn

I do this every time I get a cold. Perfect. Love the kale addition. BTW: Nice shout out to Brad. But don't forget about Molly! ;)

I know it's been 3 years, but I still identify! I was once advised to use cayenne pepper on the level of the individual serving rather than the hot sauce, and it certainly does the work of clearing the sinuses. I love all the flavors you use. I do hope you saved that chicken carcass for stock later!

srsly one of the best cooking channels on YT atm

Making this for my unexpected Covid Christmas isolation ❤️

I don't think franks sauce is spicy. It's just so damn flavourful.

But will it cure my depression

Dude I literally got hella sick the other day and made this. This stuff could grow back a limb lol.

Wow, I haven’t thought of pastina in years. My mother (god rest her soul) used to make pastina for me. She was Sicilian.

I use almost the same exact method and ingredients, however I like to use the bones from the rotisserie and any unappealing chicken junk AND vegetable scraps to make my own broth.

I'm just down here in the comments trying to figure out if I should use stock or broth. lol He is saying stock and the recipe says stock but he is holding broth.... anyone? help? :)

Can''t go wrong with chicken soup. If you are too sick to spend an hour chopping veggies, you can just get some mirepoix from TJs.

Steve first of all I hope you are feeling better. As always this was a fantastic video.Thanks for sharing your expertise both culinary and videography. You truly are an inspiration! [Phil]

Definately one of my favorite reciepes Steve's famous chicken noodle soup I can't tell you how many times I've made this for the homless people and my family at lease once a week. I don't know if It's true or not but my granny always told me that the Kale stems are full of nutrients so I chop the stems up small like a piece of celery and add them to your soup Its great.Your soup is such a healthy soup and so pretty taste wonderful ! Thank you Steve ..FYI felt so bad for you every time I watch this vid lol hope you get better real quick after you eat your wonderful healthy soup my friend sending much love your way and God bless 💜🙏

I have a huge batch of minestrone to go through but now I want this lol

Hope you are feeling. Better dear one. I thought you are kidding first!

You had me at pastina!! We used to make 'children soup' called Maltova with it. Definitely trying this adult version of pastina soup.

Props for doing this while sick, I can't imagine how you feel and how much energy this took !

Great chicken soup recipe, real quick for the sick thanks much. From Trinidad.

Alright, I made the soup and it turned out excellent, thank you for the video on how to make this

Great simple easy soup brother. Glad you’re on the mend. Take care.

Thank you! My husband was sick and I wanted something soothing and quick. This was so good. Now he’s on the mend and I’m going down 🤦🏾‍♀️ I used the bones from the rotisserie chicken to make some simple stock. Now I’ll make more for me :) also I never used Frank’s in anything but buffalo chicken but it was delicious in this soup! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ -Mia ( from Soledad,Ca)

Cooking and also shooting a video while feeling the way you looked, savage. Great vids

Ohhh man. I’ve made videos sick too. It’s rough man. You’ll look back at this one day and be happy you powered thru. 🥣🙌🏼🙌🏼

Get better soon, man! That soup looks like it hits the spot though.

A Great Chicken Soup is Amazing What it does for a sick body. Very nice video. I enjoyed it

Looks amazing. I'm gonna have to make some. Not even a month into the school year and my allergies are insane. Frank's is a staple in my house. Growing up, my mom would buy the gallon jug from Sam's Club. My brother keeps a small bottle on his key chain now, and I always keep one in my purse. You never know when you're gonna need it!

That's way too much work when ur sick. THis is what the non sick person does for the isck person. Otherwise, I'm going for a can.... And I love to cook.

That's a great recipe. Here we usually have our chicken soup with rice and it's equally as good; i'd recommend using risoni if you want something quicker and more similar to this recipe. Cheers!

This is not the way we cook chicken soup here in Hungary, but I will damn try this out. :)

I just found your channel... and I'm wondering why.... why just now? Hahaha ... love your cooking... i can cook for you if your sick... not as good as your cooking though lol 😂🤘

Omg, I could have used this the past 2 weeks . Thanks 🙏Will save. Be well soon !!!

Chicken noodle soup isn't really my go to soup.. Even when I'm sick. But dude, this is by far the best tasting chicken noodle soup I've ever had. Warm, full of flavor, easy to make!

Just found this channel and love it!!!

I'm making this tonight...can't wait!! Thank you for your delicious recipes, and the way you show us how to do them.

This soup looked fabulous. But I don't even have the energy to wash off, let alone cut up, a carrot when I'm sick. I'd probably fall on my face half way through making this soup. But I will definitely make this soup when I'm not sick, because it looks so freaking good!

This is why I make chicken soup a few times a year and stock up my freezer. I can thaw it and toss in the pasta, but anything more is out of my league. Kudos for doing this when you feel like crap!

This is pretty much the same thing I like to do. I like to add a little V8. I worked in a fancy restaurant and most of the cooks were Hispanic and they used to make Chix Soup a lot. They got me to use lime and cilantro instead of parsley and lemon, but they also used potatoes which was really good. Just gonna ask about the soup base being "broth" or "stock" since there is a big difference in flavor and intensity.

I love your videos! The format how you do it all sped up and then go back and break it all down is great! Gonna do a lasagna video soon?😏

Feel better brother I just got over a nasty cold flu whatever. Made a spicy okra curry! This looks really good, finally cooling off in Texas and will have to start making soup again

Great chicken soup tutorial, you nailed it. I’ll be making this for my next big batch of soup, it really looks good!

Welp, 2 good things came from me being sick. First I lost 15 pounds and then second I found your channel. Looks like the 15 lbs down ain't gonna last long as I scroll through your content. Made this soup tonight by the way, thank u brother, great recipe. Good vibez, keep it up 👌 Edit: the hot sauce and hint of lemon took it to an awesome level that I REALLY appreciated! I love to cook too, and have made plenty of tasty chicken noodles, but I just love this take. And DAMN bro with the small noodles? 😋😋👍👍

Wow I love this channel so much

Wow qu'elle bonne soupe 😉 Merci ! Pour ce qui est de la carcasse, je la fais bouillir et comme ça j'ai toujours du bouillon dans le congèle 👍 Aussi j'avais pas de kale alors, j'ai mise des épinards et du chou. 😍

This is a fabulous recipe - - but when I’m sick, it’s more effort than I can handle, so I have a simpler one. I buy boneless skinless chicken thighs. Start with boxed chicken broth /stock (homemade if you have it) + equal amount water, poach the chicken meat, pull out when done & tear pieces with fingers, add back along w/ the chopped mire poire veg + ginger (don’t bother to remove skin, just chop slices, matchsticks, or grate, your choice. You can remove pieces at end, or eat them. I eat them. I add about 2-3 tsp chicken Better than Boullion low sodium (it’s plenty salty, and it’s good for sore throat). When it’s ready, add your pasta (like Stephen, only what you are going to eat). You can use mini farfalle and any number of mini pastas, even orzo. Total time is about 30-35 min. This is all I can manage when I’m really sick and feverish, and it does the trick. The healing powers of chicken soup is all about the chicken broth - that’s what makes you feel better! Ginger helps too.

I am watching this in 2024, 5 years ago is it possible maybe you had COVID? Not trying to be political, just wondering

Parmesan is a fairly dry cheese, so it's probably OK, but I find that any dairy when I'm sick tends to produce more mucous, which leads to more sneezing, stuffiness, and runny noses. I avoid any cheese when I'm sick.

I want to be prepared for a winter cold. Soup & Hot Toddy. I live in the snowy mountains. I can’t get to a chicken like that or those vegetables & the pasta. Chopping, sneeze, chop, cough, chop, chop, chop, I cut a finger. Question: Does the soup freeze ok? When I’m sick it’s freezer to pan. Any one know? Brave you are with that knife.

What about a little bit ginger.... it's part of asian chicken soups and it's great when you are sick 😊

I'm sure this tastes great, but you're missing out on all that good fat that's in the chicken skin. You should instead boil the chicken raw. Yeah it takes more time, but very little extra work, just let it boil for an hour on its own.

When I am sick I feel like I need to be airlifted to the couch.

5:21 still handsome tho

yaaaaaas.... someone who doesnt strip a carrot raw!!! i make bone broth out of rotisserie bones. done it for over 9 years. esp. buy the ones with a lot of liquid in the container. that is chicken gold. i am making this for the next snow.... very inspiring!!! cold infecting cooties be gone!!!❤

Is better of you cook the raw chicken with water celery and onion. After you can complete your recipe. I'm italian and usually we cook chicken or hen in a big pot with stick of celery, 1 or 2 onions and 2 potatoes without skin, potatoes and carrots. You have to boil for 1 or 2 hours . After you can remove the chicken and eat it with boiled vegetables and if you want some sauce like bagnetto rosso, bagnetto verde, senape, aceto (balsamico is better) or maionnaise. The common way is only salt, oil and if you like also vinegar. In italy the is an old proverb said old hen make a good broth. Hope you will enjoy that easy trick. Sorry for my english 😏 . Ciao sonia

Been hanging with too many wives lol. All the nutrients are not in the carrot’s skin. It’s distributed equally throughout the carrot. 🤣

It’s a little tasteless which I guess doesn’t really matter if you’re really sick and can’t taste but I can do I added extra cubes of chicken bouillon,garlic powder,ion powder,and seasoning salt and it’s delicious

Can you please give us recipe for cream mushroom soup

I make this all the time. Super easy and super good. I usually use the wide egg noodles instead to give it more of that traditional hearty texture.

Super tasty

Always love your videos. Sending you lots of love from Korea! :)

I wish I’d made this for the freezer ‘just in case’; as it happened my cough developed into a sore throat which turned to shivers and feeling crap...consequently when I got to a supermarket I’d to get those ingredients I could remember from memory. Made the soup with most of what’s in the recipe and improvised the rest, I’m home now, soup is done and first impressions are that it was well worth the effort. I’ll follow up with the correct ingredients and make it properly as soon as I’m in a better place. The flu jab is out next month, I’ll be first in line for the 2019 strain and if all else fails I’ll have some chicken soup in the freezer.

Glad to see this, especially the addition of Frank's hot sauce. The only thing you had in it that I don't in my recipe is the kale. I do not always have it on hand. Will try this though.

No cheese when you are sick. No dairy when tou body is already making and trying to expell mucous dear. The wheat in the pasta is bad enough

I tried this recipe today and the soup was amazing. Never thought to squeeze lemon over my soup but it was delicious. Instead of using noodles I made dumplings
