7 Health Benefits of Chicken Soup
5. Cures cold and flu
No wonder why chicken soup is a great favorite of people suffering from cold, and those recovering from flu– it comforts while it cures!
6. Chicken soup of your choice
Chicken soup can be a clear soup, or a soup made with shredded chicken or full pieces of chicken, with vegetables of choice and garnished with onions, garlic, ginger, salt and black pepper. People usually add some vegetables to the chicken soup: carrots– rich in vitamin A – are a big favorite; potatoes are another. Some even add whole leaves of cabbage, cauliflower, tomatoes, chopped boiled egg, parsnip, celery, sour cream, black bay leaves, a sprinkling of fresh herbs, mushrooms, pasta, almonds and even noodles! Have it any way you like, you’ll only stand to gain from it.
7. Wholesome food
You can cook it in a pot, or in a pressure cooker; check to see if the broth is consistent and the chicken has become tender. Even the tender chicken pieces can be removed from the cooker/pot, fried in a few drops of oil and eaten with bread. Soup with chicken and bread, is a wholesome meal.
