In a trip to the US, I caught the flu with high fever and coughing. A friend of mine made this soup for me and I felt so much better. Did you know that chicken broth has healing ability. The scientists do not know why, but it seems that it helps us recover faster form cold and flu! —Culinary Flavors

This is a wonderful chicken soup recipe. It is true the scientists don’t totally know why but chicken soup has been shown in studies to thin our passage ways & stuffy noses. Broth and noodles provide carbohydrates for our energy levels and vegetables will boost the level of nutrients which supports our immune function. So…let’s slurp away!
