Ultimate Flu-Busting Chicken Soup image

This chicken soup is good for your soul and your health. Made from scratch, it's packed with ingredients to boost your immune system and ward off the illness. What it's not packed with is fat and empty calories. Reasearchers at the University of Nebraska found that homemade Chicken soup really does make you feel better when your sick. It reduces congestion and inflammation by limiting the movement of white blood cells that produce infection-related mucus. The result? Fewer sniffles. This version also harnesses the healthy power of tomatoes, potatoes, and garlic. Published in our local paper.
