Personal Notes:
Growing up,this was always our Christmas Eve meal. Mom served it with Irish soda bread. I honestly believe it has medicinal powers, and certainly warms the soul.
It was the last thing Duppa(Jim O'Connell Sr) had to eat when he was in City Hospital, and when Jim & Eileen ate it while suffering from Covid 19 they said it was the best chicken soup that they'd ever had! High praise!
