My mum always used to make me some chicken soup when I was sick. I remember, she made it either with rice or noodles.
Well, my boyfriend is sick for a week now and he was craving chicken soup for the second time, so I decided to turn this one in my first blog-recipe.
This soup is paleo friendly, which means, no rice and no noodles included. You wonder how that's possible? Well, it is. Not only it is delicious, but also so easy and fast to make. And I am all about easy cooking, when it's hot outside. :)
You will need:
- 1 chicken
- 1 bunch of soup greens (carrots, leek, parsley, sellery)
- some vegetable broth
Now, take 2 litres of water in a pot and bring it to a boil. Add the vegetable broth (I added 4 tsp), the chicken and the soup greens and cook it on low to medium heat until the chicken is tender. It may take up to 45 minutes. Stir in occasionally. Ready!
Chickensoup blocks specific leukocytes, which can release inflammation and swelling of the mucous membrane. It also contains healthy ingredients, such as vitamines, iron and zinc - good for the weak immune system. Just inhale the smell of it, because the steam moistens the mucous membrane.
End result: my boyfriend loved it. And that's a very good sign ;)
Until next time, stay warm.
Anna
