Congee

SoHo Gourmet, 2990 Cahill Main, Fitchburg

A thick chicken and rice soup with mushrooms and notes of ginger that will cure what ails you. Weekends only.

Chicken noodle soup

Dumpling Haus, 702 N. Midvale Blvd, Hilldale

Thick noodles are topped with scallions and shredded rotisserie chicken for an intensely chickeny experience.

Chicken matzoh ball soup

Ella’s Deli, 2902 E. Washington Ave.

It’s a deli, so puffy matzoh ball soup’s on the menu. Chicken noodle soup is also available. Or go for broke with noodles and matzoh balls. It’s like an insurance policy.
