KICK IT IMMUNE BOOSTING CHICKEN SOUP
This is a hearty, spicy chicken soup that will give your immune system a huge boost and (in my opinion) kick any cold or flu!!!!! It does have a bite!! I cook this up at the sign of a cold and it does the trick. You can opt not to use the chilli - however Chilli gives your metabolism a hit and also shakes up any nasty mucus on your chest.

Steps:
- Dice onions, chilli, ginger and sweet potato/parsnip.
- Dice or crush garlic.
- Slice celery, carrots.
- Wash chicken inside and out and place into a large stock pot.
- Put all ingredients into the pot and cover with chicken stock.
- Bring soup to the boil, then simmer for approx 2 - 2.5 hours or until the chicken falls of the bone.
- (I use a pressure cooker to cook mine for approx 1 hr).
- Pull chicken out of soup and discard all bones and large clumps of fat.
- Return chicken meat to soup.
- For a variation, try adding a ham hock to the ingredients as well!
- This chicken soup does have a bite, but it it will sweat out all those nasty cold bugs!
- Enjoy!
