Famous American Foods
What, besides children, connects mothers around the world and across the seas of time? It’s chicken soup, one prominent American food expert says.
From Russian villages to Africa and Asia, chicken soup has been the remedy for those weak in body and spirit. Mothers passed their knowledge on w ancient writers of Greece, China and Rome, and even 12th century philosopher and physician Moses Maimonides extolled (赞美) its virtues.

Was collecting recipes I began to see this as an international dish. It has a universal mystique as something curative, a strength builder, "Sheraton said from her New York home.
Her book treats the oldest remedy as if it Was brand new.
