Chicken soup is a classic comfort food and is frequently recommended as a restorative dish during cold season. It also seems that every home cook has his or her own secrets and techniques for making the best chicken soup. For a slightly lighter version, I like the Italian Zuppa Pavese. A simple chicken broth is adorned with a crusty piece of toast, a soft poached egg, and grated parmigiano - a generous grating of black pepper. It is the perfection of simplicity. <br />This recipe is best if you make it with homemade chicken stock. However, it is still yummy if you don't want to go to that trouble, and buy chicken stock from the store instead. <br />*Inspired by my years in the kitchen of a small osteria
