Cooks' Note

Good ol’ chicken soup is the staple in just about every kitchen around the world—from homes to VIP gatherings. Here it’s served with tomatoes and green beans. If you use frozen beans, don’t thaw before adding to the soup— they will be cooked perfectly when the soup is done. To put a little extra flavor in clear broths, add some finely chopped green onions, including the tops, or even small bits of chicken, steak, or other meat.
