I crave the chickenless matzoh veg soup quite often. The broth is good, veggies are hearty and the matzoh is moist and flavorful. We get the spicy hangover soup & the challah with veg & hummus sometimes as well. It's a great add! When you're cold, tired, dehydrated or just looking for some comfort soup that isn't creamy or high sodium or crazy spice , this is the place to go! read more

I doordashed prescription chicken on a cold day in NOVA. Overall, I think the soup is good! Definitely a nice alternative to when you crave soup and don't feel like waiting for your own concoction. Is it the most delicious soup I've ever had? No. Don't go in expecting anything to write home about. But I enjoyed it more than most people on yelp. My chicken was yummy and the ratios were fine for me. I'd love to try their in-store soup one day! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. It's my go-to whenever I am sick and miss my grandma's matzah ball soup.

Prescription Chicken was recommended to me by a friend when I needed it most! Even being sick the soup was flavorful and seasoned to perfection! The matzo ball soup was a unexpected spin on the classic recipe. I love that you can get the soup ready to eat or frozen for another time! The service was quick and helpful in helping me make a decision on what to get! It's a come as you are ambiance ! Will definitely be back! read more

Prescription Chicken - Bi-Partisan Chicken Soup - Soup Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Ordered. Scooped. Made it home. And it's delicious! Full of chicken and the good stuff aka veggies and some noodles. It wasn't overly salty which I was afraid it would be. And I'm on the mend from this cold because of the soup... it's delicious, hearty, and reasonably priced for fresh-made soup! read more

Prescription Chicken - Grandma's style with noodles - Soup Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

It's ok, I probably wouldn't reorder unless I was really sick I think the concept of offering food bundles for when you're sick is clever, but the chicken in the soup was super dry and wasn't the most flavorful. read more

My friend and I didn't know what we were in the mood for, but when we ordered Prescription Chicken, it hit the spot. We both ordered the Bipartisan chicken soup and side challah and both were delicious. The soup portion is huge, much bigger than I was expecting, but it was so good that we both ate the whole thing in one sitting. The ratio of noodles and matzah balls to chicken and veggies was perfect, and there was plenty of broth to enjoy with every bite and still have some leftover. And the side challah was the perfect size and very buttery, I definitely recommend dipping it in the soup and eating it that way. It's a great matzah ball soup, highly recommend! read more

TL;DR: Consistently great soup every time! Highly recommend for hungover or sick days. This place is my go-to spot for ordering soup whenever I need some warm comfort. The quality is consistently excellent, whether you order through Uber Eats or DoorDash. They also offer some challah bread options, but I definitely recommend the soup over the bread. P.S. I was sick one day, and my partner had this delivered to me while he was at work. The "Get Better" package (or any of the other packages they offer) was a thoughtful touch and warmed my heart! read more

Prescription Chicken - Soup Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Was craving some soup to make me feel better, but this wasn't it. Undercooked vegetables and bland broth was so upsetting and for $15? The sandwich that came with it had more flavor. How do you not cook vegetables, properly? read more

Chicken in grandma's chicken soup was so tough that people were removing it and putting it on the side. The broth was good. But for almost $20 a quart the soup should be edible. Christmas luncheon ruined read more

I actually had this restaurant via door dash and it was delicious! Everything was packed with care even down to the description of the soups and sandwiches. I can't wait to visit the actual restaurant. read more

I did not have the greatest experience. I wasn't greeted when I walked in. And the person behind the counter did not speak English. Another young girl came and said "name for your order". I asked if the took cash and she just pointed to the tablet on the counter. I ordered the chicken faux pho. It was not good. Also seems way over priced for soup. $15 for a terrible experience. I won't be back. read more

Prescription Chicken - Menu - Soup Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Prescription Chicken and Astro Doughnuts Fall is finally here, and you can feel it in the air! I turned on my heat. It is the perfect time to start eating all those foods that provide you comforts- such as soup and donuts! Actually, it is always a good season for doughnuts (insert Homer Simpson's drooling face here!) Fortunately enough, I won Prescription Chicken's 5-year birthday giveaway last month! It came with a delicious way to get warm-up and to end that warmth on a sweet note. I won two containers of soup: Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup Grandma Matzah Ball Chicken Soup The soup is low in calories and fat (if that is something you track). I was impressed with how low the sodium is. I rarely eat premade soup because it usually has a lot of salt. High blood pressure runs in my family, and I usually make soup myself for that reason. However, that isn't an issue with Prescription Chicken. A serving of the matzah ball soup is 380 mg of sodium, which is about 17% of the total amount of sodium the average person should have per day. The ingredients were all things I could pronounce. I could easily attempt to make it based on the ingredient list. The matzah balls were light, fluffy, and delicious. Purchase from their DC location and delivery via @ubereats, @postmates, @doordash. @caviar, and Grubhub. read more

Prescription Chicken - Soup Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I had high hopes for Prescription Chicken after hearing great things, especially since I wasn't feeling well and really wanted some comforting soup. I ordered the chicken soup with egg noodles and matzah balls, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the expectations. The soup lacked so much flavor that I actually had to get up and re-season it, which was disappointing--especially for $15. When you're sick and craving something soothing, you shouldn't have to do extra work to make your meal enjoyable. read more

If you're sick and you need chicken soup love.... This will do the job. Their matzah ball soup is legit. I won't say it's amazing soup. You'll have to doctor it up a bit to get it to a more robust flavor. But you won't have to do all the leg work to get it there ;) read more

The hangover soup my friends ordered for me arrived so quickly and was delicious. Couldn't have had a better COVID experience without them.

My mom ordered me a little snack kit from here because I'm not feeling well. She got me two ginger ales, two salted chocolate chip cookies, a chickenless soup and the ramen(ish) soup. The chocolate chip cookies are delicious. Unlike other reviews, I can taste the salt on mine and I like it. They're yummy. The chickenless soup is bland. No worries though. Just add some spices and I'm sure all will be well. I tried the broths of each soup to decide which I wanted to eat first. I chose the ramen. The broth is so flavorful and yummy. The chicken was a little hard and the color was grey for whatever reason. I still ate it and it was a little dry but it's fine. I wasn't expecting the matzah ball in the ramen and it was so yummmmmy. I've never had it before and was sad when there was only one in there. I need some more of those. Also the noodles in the ramen were sticky and stuck together. Kinda like they stayed in the pot too long and started to meld together. It's not gourmet by any means but it's good. It's the thought that counts. Next time I'm ordering more cookies, all the matzah balls and I wanna try some of the broths too. read more

4 days post hip replacement surgery, all I wanted was matzoh ball soup. Can't begin to explain how the soups have changed my day! Ordered, both chicken soups, and pot pie soup, and broth ( for future home ramen). I almost cried while eating, it was so flavorful, chicken shreds moist not dry, noodles perfect tender, and the balls; large and filling. Thank you ladies and your team for making my slightly painful day! read more

Wow!....I totally was not expecting this!! This is some really good chicken soup!!! And, to finish it all off with tasty doughnuts from Astros Fried Chicken & Doughnuts all rolled into one shop....who can ask for anything more!!? I came here after having a craving for soup for lunch--HOT Chicken Noodle Soup in the middle of this week's heat wave at that! Yeah, I know...call it an odd craving...hot soup on the middle of the DC summer heat....over ice cream, popsicles or anything for that matter to just to stay cool...is an unusual desire. To my surprise though, I found exactly what I was looking for. A spicy, flavorful soup called the Spicy Hangover Chicken Soup! It was the perfect concoction of tender chicken, satisfying bright broth, and fresh vegetables dancing together with flavorful matzah balls! It was not too salty, had just the right kick of spice, and a perfect light lunch. In a nutshell, it was "sooooo damn good." With each bite, I found myself enjoying the flavors of the soothingly delicious soup and it was so comforting. The only downside was, I wish I had more to enjoy as I was surfing the last remaining scoops of the container with my spoon. I opted for the matzoh balls option over the noodles....and they did not disappoint. They were light, fluffy and delicious! I also tried the Turkey Cheddar Slider. It was okay (nothing special), but complimented the soup well. In all, this was a pleasant surprise and find in the Shaw neighborhood. I definitely know who I will be hitting up.....if I find myself under the weather or craving some good ol' fashioned soup again...especially during the fall/winter seasons. As some folks mentioned, the price point is a bit steep, but it is so worth it! You can't compare the quality and homemade LOVE put into this soup....to a can of Campbell's or shelf bought chicken soup!! I highly recommend! read more

I'm in love! I was feeling kinda crappy yesterday and just really wanted soup. But like good soup! Not just out of a can soup. I wanted like "soup n@zi" soup! I had a hard time picking between the ramen-ish and the pot pie. Ended up going with the pot pie. Well slap me sideways if that wasn't some damn good soup! I had to add a little salt but I also like things well seasoned. A lot of people have mentioned that. Honestly I'd rather have to salt something than have it come to me too salty. Can't do anything about that. Plus when you're sick your taste buds are messed up anyway. So I won't knock them for something I wouldn't even consider an inconvenience (oh no you have to add salt to your food! Tragic). If anything I appreciate it more. I'm gonna get the ramenish today. I can't wait! read more

We ordered 2 bi-partisan regular and one GF via a 3rd party delivery service app. Unfortunately when they arrived they all looked the same. I called the store and they said the GF should be clearly marked. I really appreciate that they acknowledged I didn't get GF and didn't try to encourage me to eat it anyway. Because it was delivery through a 3rd party the person said that only a manager could offer me any correction and that the best they could do was leave a note for the next day's manager. I let it go and found something else to eat. The gluten eaters did enjoy their soup, and their first experience of matzah balls (thanks!) and to my pleasant surprise the next days manager did make an effort to make it right. We are in DC for a few more days, I hope to get another chance at the GF because the soup did look great, and I do trust them, and I love the set up they have to send care packages- I will definitely keep that idea in my pocket for my local friends. read more

Very underwhelming. For a place that just does chicken soup - this is pretty bad chicken soup. The broth was bland and I added some salt to it. The veggies were way under cooked (crunchy) and the chicken tasted very over cooked - it was chewy. The ingredients also did not taste like they were all cooked together, as a soup should be. I got the Grandma's chicken soup, and let me tell you, my Grandma would be very disappointed in this soup. Going to pass next time. read more

ordered from door dash, arrived warm but would've liked it warmer slightly greasy residue but might've just been the nature of the container got the hangover chicken. as others have noted it was peppery not spicy and that was perfect for me. had celery and carrots (made me feel healthy) generous portion hallah was good and not dry at 6pm hallah with turkey was OK. read more

Very good soup. I can't believe I didn't know about them sooner! I ordered the grandma style soup with the mini challah slider. Wow, it was like someone's grandma made it for me. It wasn't bland like other people said. And I like my vegetables crunchy and I thought the chicken wasn't too dry. I also ordered the creamy pot pie soup before and that is my favorite still. Thanks to this restaurant, I feel a little less sick. read more

I was super excited to try this place. The concept is cool & it sounded like it would hit the spot. I made the mistake of clicking 'pickup' instead of 'delivery' However, it was an easy fix with a phone call. I would've given 5 stars...but to my disappointment my soup was completely cold. Not just a little but actually cold. They didn't reheat it or replace it & due to the mixup it must've just been sitting there for about an hour. I'm only visiting the area & my hotel does not have a microwave. I took a few bites & it seemed flavorful. But nobody wants cold soup. I was looking forward to this hangover cure...maybe next time. read more

Prescription Chicken - The best matzoh chicken soup at the moment I needed it most. Thank you for being incredible with super fast delivery! - Soup Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This place was so good, it's been a week since I ate there and I'm still thinking about it. I'm not exactly sure how it's possible that this place exists, but low and behold, it does. I couldn't decide between two soups so I ordered them both. Once they arrived, I thought I convinced myself that I'd just taste a little of each, and low and behold, I had them both! All of it. Thank you to this place for getting it just how I love it. I wish there were more of these in the country. I don't live in DC so unfortunately I won't be able to eat there anytime soon. Great work on the quality of food at this place! Don't ever close and open more throughout the country! read more

Longtime Rx Chix soup fan here. The matzoh balls are light & fluffy, the soup is loaded with healthy veggies and delicious chicken, and the broth is oh so flavorful. I love the spicy hangover and faux pho best of all. Hubs will happily eat bipartisan every meal of every day. But can we just talk about the matzoh brei?!? What a treat! It is so, so, good. There is no better way to eat matzoh and Rx Chix makes an excellent preparation. It's flavorful, eggy, and buttery deliciousness. Loving the classic and everything! All the goodness of New York's finest, without any of the cooking. Perfect for a relaxing Passover Sunday. read more

A place that specializes in in chicken soup is a great idea and you expect it to be really-really-really good. If I have to choose between the grandma's style (3 star) versus the bi-partisan soup (3.5 stars) , I'll definitely go with the bi-partisan soup. The Matzoball is a nice addition to it but the soup is spicier and more flavorful compared to the grandma's style which is on the safer side. They are quite generous in giving the chunks of chicken, but the could have been more generous given the price point. The four-star rating is definitely given to its toffee crackers cookies!! Oh wow, I have never tasted one quite like it! Definitely a worth-it add-on if you order a soup from this place. read more

I was craving matzo ball soup and got more than I asked for at Prescription Chicken. I love both chicken noodle and matzo ball soup so the bi partisan was a perfect option that made me realize I can in fact have the best of both worlds. Not to mention there are plenty of other options to choose from if matzo ball isn't your style! (also aren't the challah breads LITERALLY so cute) read more

I had some surgery done and in my wisdom before I went to the hospital, I ordered two orders of the bipartisan chicken soup to be delivered after I got home, so I have for the next couple days of recovery. I did this even though I had previously had a kind of rough experience with Prescription Chicken - stringy, overcooked chicken, matzoh balls that were as dense as a baseball, flavorless and underseasoned broth, and undercooked vegetables. But I had a better experience this Passover. I'm glad to say that whatever happened my my first time, this was a much improved experience. Admittedly my sense is smell is missing, but I still felt that I could taste it. And it tasted great. Matzoh balls were fluffy instead of dense, tasteful and seasoned broth, cooked vegetables. And the chicken, while still a bit stringy, was not as bad and was mostly edible. This isn't as good as my grandma's chicken soup (that's impossible to match) but if you're in a pinch, it's a really solid choice. read more

I have to say, I love prescription chicken. I have ordered the chicken noodle, faux pho, and hangover soup, and they are all great. I like the spice in the latter two, but sometimes you are just in the mood for a classic chicken noodle. I also like to order with ginger ale, which always does wonders when I am sick. My problem with this is it is SO EXPENSIVE. I spent several days being sick, and every order of prescription chicken ends up being nearly $20, when you include a $14 soup, $2 ginger ale, and then various fees from the delivery companies. It is great soup, but I think you are generally getting it when you really really need it (AKA, too sick to get out of bed) and otherwise heading to the grocery story and stocking up on more affordable soups. Might not be quite as tasty, but worth it for your budget. read more

Prescription Chicken - Adorable bag that my soup was delivered in. - Soup Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I got delivery via a third party app. Decided to get the bipartisan soup with the spicy broth. The soup was ok, but not great for the cost. I'd say the broth was more peppery than spicy, which is fine but what I really wanted was a true spicy broth. The noodles and matzah balls were great. Like some other reviewers have mentioned, the chicken was rubbery. It's big strips of chicken, which I guess is ok but hard to eat. I would have preferred smaller pieces so it would be easier to scoop up. I was craving soup so it hit the spot, but I don't think I'll be craving Rx Chicken any time soon. read more

I ordered 3 types of soup to get me through a 5 day quarantine for Covid. And on a beautiful weekend too! Sigh. I got the ramen, pho and pot pie options. The pot pie soup is easily the best. Creamy broth with chunky ingredients. Yum. The pho is good, but not as deep or complex as a beef/Vietnamese variety, and the spice overwhelms the more delicate chicken broth. The ramen soup with corn tastes of corn...and salt. My taste and smell is working, yay! Next time, more pot pie less ramen read more
