Immune Boosting Chicken Soup

Immune Boosting Chicken Soup

When I was a little, my great Aunt used to make this amazing Polish chicken soup called Rosól to help fight colds or flu. It was amazing and you could instantly feel it's healing effects with every mouthful. Garlic, turmeric and ginger are potent detoxifying and antiviral herbs to help the body get rid of toxins, stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, aid digestion and boost your immune system. Coriander also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help fight disease. Adding a little protein such as chicken will supply your body with essential amino acids your body needs to heal and nourish. The perfect ingredients to help you get through the winter!
