Chicken Soup Recipe to Empower Your Immune System

Chicken Soup To Empower Your Immune System

This  frightfully aggressive flu seems to be traveling through the Unite States at a very rapid rate. I thought this would be a good time to make up my magical Chicken Soup Recipe.  We all know that Chicken soup cures many ills as is reported by moms everywhere.  Chicken soup just happens to be my favorite soup.  My freezer and fridge always have  a container ready to eat.  We have soup almost everyday when we are home for lunch.  If I serve my husband something else he is very disappointed.

I came  up with this recipe as I researched out the most potent foods and spices to protect our immune systems.  I actually use just about all of these herbs and spices in my soup.  Also I love fresh ginger and fresh Turmeric and keep a supply on hand all the time.

If you don’t have all of these spices, herbs and veggies in your fridge or pantry use what you have.  

There are other rules that help avoid the flu and keep your immune system up to par.

1. Remember to wash your hands often
2. Stay away from coughing and sneezing. 
3. Keep up your exercise inside or outside
4. Get a good night’s sleep
5. Nothing wrong with a cat nap during the day
6. A quiet meditation of even 5 minutes helps manage stress
7. Laugh a lot—it helps the immune system and it is so much fun
