About

When you're feeling down, even the comforts of chicken noodle soup can seem like an impossible feat to reach. Let Feel Better Soup take the load off. By using a pressure cooker, Feel Better Soup speeds up the cooking time so you can go back to the couch with a steaming bowl of goodness. The noodles are tender, the chicken is savory, and a hint of turmeric adds a depth of flavor not usually found in the sickbed favorite. Time to get those sniffles out!
