Player #6852065, When my Mom made chicken soup, she would very sparingly add saffron.It did add to flavor of soup. It came in very small vial to keep it fresh.

luckycatfay, me too. I wonder about that for many foods: crabs and artichokes in particular.

Kashmir in India is famous for its saffron, the world's most expensive spice which is notoriously tricky to grow but also to harvest because the delicate flowers have to be hand-picked

Player #9442102, where do you come from where (even sparingly) saffron is a common addition to such a basic dish as chicken soup?

Cheaper to just grow the flowers and get the saffron for free.
