Nutrition is important and nothing is more comforting than a bowl of chicken soup for cancer patients when not feeling well.
So, I created a hearty chicken and Quinoa soup recipe. It is important what you eat and chicken soup is a good diet for cancer patients because it is easy on the stomach.
A hearty version of chicken soup for cancer patients actually became one our family favorites.
This recipe makes a big pot to have throughout the week making it the perfect comfort food for cancer patients.
