My mother used to give us Heinz chicken soup when we were children in the 60s - if it was good enough for her it's good for me too! All we have ever had 😊 and saves a lot of faff!

Great idea just hide the container !

I am a great believer in trading gifts. So when my son was little, I hated sewing, but had a mother who was a very good seamstress and so I knew what I wanted and had a good sense of style At the same time I was quite a good cook and imaginative cake maker etc. So we swapped skills. I bought the material and told her what I needed for his trousers with extra big hems as he grew very quickly and I made her son a great birthday cake, with homemade jam etc in it which she paid for the ingredients. Results were two happy children, and two mothers who werent frustrated and used their good skills. So if it is only that particular soup you cant stand, then again find someone you could swap soups with, or exchange some other skill and let them make lots. Then freeze some and you will be saved the miserable hassle.

Can't he make the soup himself? Then you could go for a nice long walk, shopping trip or anything else while he cooks and airs the kitchen.

Just what I was thinking? What's so great about chicken soup anyway? Can't you both make food you both enjoy?

I’m not bothered by the smell of chicken soup cooking , but what I can’t stand is the smell of cheese cooking . My granddaughters favourite meal is macaroni cheese and if I walk into the kitchen and it’s in the oven then the smell sends me straight out again .

Yorkshire Provendor Chicken and Vegetable soup.
Available in most supermarkets is absolutely delicious.

I couldn’t make it the same.
It’s really nourishing.

Try it. You won’t regret it and maybe get Dh to try and save you the trouble of making it from scratch.

not sure where you live but in this area we have a small Jewish population and Waitrose stocks brands called Osem and Telma which is vegetarian but tastes similar to chicken soup. add some dumplings and he wont be able to tell the difference.

Thought it was just me who couldn't stand the smell of chicken soup.
Love the Anglo-Saxon therapy idea.

I love homemade chicken soup especially if I have a cold. Understand where you’re coming from though as hate the smell of cinnamon cooking and have to leave the room.

I did this as a young bride cooking our first Xmas lunch. Cooked and sieved the giblets and pushed the cooked carrots and onions through it too. Then realised I hadn’t put my jug underneath and it all went down the plug hole.

I do feel for you surfingsal losing the soup after all that work.
A senior moment, and we all have them.

Oh, I love making chicken soup - in various varieties! I just love making soup full stop, in fact. And homemade chicken soup is very good for you - it's not known as Jewish penicillin for nothing.

👍🏻
Nothing like homemade chicken soup for the body and soul.

I’m not keen on chicken soup but sometimes have just blitzed leftovers from a slow-cooked chicken casserole and eaten it as soup, reheated in the microwave. Hardly any smell.

I don't make chicken soup but I do make stock. I use an Instapot using the pressure cooker function but I let it go cold before removing the lid and straining it. That greatly reduces the smell and also the cooking time.

I have done the same with a seive! 😂

I’ve done it with a colander. So mad at the waste - all that gas while simmering the carcass, too! I use the stock in various dishes, not just soup.

Yes, I've done the same and boy didn't I scream out.

Me too ! I don't like chicken soup bit unlike you I don't have to prepare it.
You're a hero for doing it. Lucky your OH appreciates it.

I have done the same with a seive! 😂

I also hate the smell of chicken soup. Yuk!

You can buy ready made fresh chicken stock in some supermarkets. Buy that and then just add the extras.

Your DH could of course make his own chicken soup, and you could go out on the days he makes it.

I have tried that in the past , the look on his face after one spoonful said it all ! I think the smell of the simmering Chicken is preferable to letting him loose in the kitchen .

I’ve done this before too 😊
