Chicken Noodle Soup

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!



Chicken Noodle Soup is the dish for you if you have a flu, cold or are unwell. It is renowned the world over for being the food for winter. This aromatic broth will warm you right up on a snowy winters day.

Chicken is a meat which the Prophet Muhammad (saw) was reported to have eaten once or more than once in his lifetime.


Ginger is mentioned in the Quran in Surah Dahar Verse 17. Allah is describing the people of Paradise and He says:


And they will be given to drink there a cup (of wine) mixed with Zanjabil (ginger).

This soup contains both chicken and ginger. When eating it, we should try and remember the above, and inshallah we will gain the reward of acting out a sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (saw).
