This Healing Soup Works MIRACLES. Do You Know How To Make It?

Whenever we catch a cold or flu, we’re told to stay home, get rest, and drink plenty of fluids. Did you know that it’s just as important to eat certain foods when feeling under the weather? This recipe for Healing Soup should be in everyone’s medicine cabinet because just one bowl packs a powerful boost to the immune system.

Back in the day, when our ancestors got sick, they didn’t have the option to get a flu shot or run by their drug store for an over-the-counter medicine. Thanks to traditions passed down from generations past, mom or grandma knew the exact thing to eat or drink to combat a nasty virus.

So when we tell you that just one bowl of this soup is enough to put the pep back in your step, we mean it! Take one look at the ingredients and you’ll know why it’s so effective.

I never got a chance to read the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books that became so popular in the ’90s, but chicken broth has rightfully earned its reputation as a powerful antidote for the average head cold. This hearty soup can actually reduce the symptoms of an upper-respiratory cold, plus it can conveniently be slurped out of a mug while lying in bed.

Don’t forget the garlic, ginger, chili, and lemongrass. All boast wonderful immune-system-boosting properties, loaded with a cocktail of nutrients and compounds that will nurse your body back to health.
