Chicken soup is great for you when you're feeling under the weather. Hot soup is good for opening up congested noses and provides fluid which is important for fighting infection and dehydration. Some researchers believe chicken soup reduces inflammation associated with a cold which may relieve several symptoms.
I got this recipe from The Paleo Diet...
6 cups or water
1 whole chicken diced
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 yellow onion diced
1 bay leaf
1 tsp black pepper
6 fresh tomatoes diced
2 small zucchinis sliced thin
3 carrots diced
In a large pot combine water, chicken, garlic, onion, bay leaf and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about two hours or until chicken is tender.
Remove bay leaf and discard. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Serves six.
Enjoy!
