Chicken noodle soup is the embodiment of home comfort and traditional Russian cuisine. Its history goes back to the distant past when simple yet hearty dishes helped sustain strength in harsh climates. Tender chicken broth, aromatic bay leaves, and spicy herbs create a rich flavor that warms the soul. The noodles absorb the richness of the broth, while potatoes and vegetables add heartiness to the soup.
