Immune boosting chicken soup - Real Recipes from Mums

Serves 4
10 minutes
Difficulty Easy
10 Ingredients

A great quick and easy recipe to help you get through the cold season.
If you want a vegetarian option, just use the vegetable stock and omit the chicken.

Ingredients (serves 4)

10 cloves garlic, smashed  
2 tablespoons finely grated ginger
1 tablespoon fresh grated turmeric
1 litre chicken or vegetable stock (chicken is best)
1 litre water
500g chicken breast (organic is best)
1 bunch parsley or corriander (depending on what you like the flavour of)
1/4 cup Miren
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 large eggs

Method

Combine the garlic, turmeric, ginger, stock, water and chicken into a large pot.
Simmer for 5 – 10 minutes over a low heat until chicken is cooked through and flavours have infused into the stock.
Add mirin, soy sauce, beaten egg and coriander or parsley just before serving.

Notes

We always make a big pot of this up when anyone in the house gets a cold.

Thanks for this recipe for chicken soup – I love making chicken soup as it just makes you feel better when sick. Chicken soup, a good book and bed all help with feeling better!

I love home made chicken soup! I always make some with my roast chicken carcass. Lots of garlic and ginger for added health benefits

We have had a terrible Winter with illnesses and the doctor here (Tassie) has told us the cold and ‘flu season could last through to Winter, so this is exactly the kind off good healthy soup my family needs thank you!
