Generalizing work of Doi and of Idrissi, we define a coHochschild homology theory for chain coalgebras over any commutative ring and prove its naturality with respect to morphisms of chain coalgebras up to strong homotopy. As a consequence we obtain that if the comultiplication of a chain coalgebra $C$ is itself a morphism of chain coalgebras up to strong homotopy, then the coHochschild complex $\cohoch (C)$ admits a natural comultiplicative structure. In particular, if $K$ is a reduced simplicial set and $C_{*}K$ is its normalized chain complex, then $\cohoch (C_{*}K)$ is naturally a homotopy-coassociative chain coalgebra. We provide a simple, explicit formula for the comultiplication on $\cohoch (C_{*}K)$ when $K$ is a simplicial suspension. The coHochschild complex construction is topologically relevant. Given two simplicial maps $g,h:K\to L$, where $K$ and $L$ are reduced, the homology of the coHochschild complex of $C_{*}L$ with coefficients in $C_{*}K$ is isomorphic to the homology of the homotopy coincidence space of the geometric realizations of $g$ and $h$, and this isomorphism respects comultiplicative structure. In particular, there a isomorphism, respecting comultiplicative structure, from the homology of $\cohoch(C_{*}K)$ to $H_{*}\op L|K|$, the homology of the free loops on the geometric realization of $K$.
