Even though most people associate soup with the cold Winter days – and truthfully it is a great comfort food -, the reality is we should eat soup all year long. It is packed with healthy benefits and with the advantage of serving as lunch for a few days, if you make a whole bunch that you can put in the freezer for later. Who doesn’t recall our grandma telling us to eat our chicken soup as a way to feel better when we were sick?
The chicken in your soup offers a number of benefits. It’s high in protein that helps the immune system, and is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, such as B vitamins, which boost immunity and help with digestion. According to medical research, chicken soup reduces joint pain and inflammations, enhances anti-inflammatory capacity, improves skin, hair and nails, and bone growth and repair.
How hard is it to make?
Not hard at all. You literally throw everything in a huge pan with some water and let it slow-cook for a couple of hours. Cooking doesn’t get much easier than this.
