Chicken soup
A clear broth of chicken and vegetables — a kitchen remedy that does most of its work by being made for you.
Chicken soup in a dream is the dream's image of a kitchen remedy whose effect comes mainly from the fact that someone made it for you. The soup is real food; it is also a small statement that you are being looked after. The dream brings the soup when something in your life — an illness, a recent loss, a worn-down stretch — is being met by an act of household care that is choosing the form of a meal. A bowl of chicken soup brought to the bed is the dream affirming that the care has arrived. A pot of chicken soup left to go cold on the stove, the person it was made for refusing it, is the dream noting that the kindness was offered and the offer was, for now, not entered into.
