Nothing warms up your body and soul quite like a nice bowl of hot soup. Why not try one of these favorites from the Utica and surrounding area?

Chicken and Rice Noodle Bone Broth

You can get this delicious creation at CoreLife Eatery in New Hartford - It's like a mix of your traditional chicken noodle soup with a taste of wonton soup. This soup is loaded with grilled chicken, rice noodles, shredded kale, carrots, celery, scallions, and of course their chicken bone broth. The veggies and chicken get steamed before they're combined with the broth to keep the vegetables crisp, and seal in flavor. It's the perfect alternative to a regular cup of chicken noodle soup, and it's definitely more filling.
