This
year in Texas, we have a really cold winter, not only cold, flu is everywhere. The
flu strikes more quickly and makes people feel worse, especially kids. It
mainly weakens our immune system. So boosting up our immune system during flu
season is very important. Recently I have read a lot about “Chicken Soup”, the
way it boosting up our immune system. Report says, chicken soup contains a
natural amino acid called cysteine. A form of this amino acid, called N-acetyl
cysteine, is a powerful antioxidant that strengthens immunity. So, it has been
one of my favorite winter supplements, because it’s been shown to be a
natural flu treatment. Today I am sharing my own favorite Chicken Soup recipe,
which is protein packed, mild flavor, and kid friendly. Hope you all will try
this recipe.
Ingredients
(Seven servings)
Chicken-
4 Large Chicken leg (Clean nicely and groove flesh part)
Chicken
soup mix- 2 Tbsp
Celery-
2 Sticks
Carrot-
Mini, 10
Onion-1
Medium size, chopped.
Garlic-
3 Cloves, chopped
Pepper
powder- 1 Tbsp
Cilantro-
2Tbsp
Salt to
taste
Method
Step 1:
Place chicken in a large pot. Add Chicken soup mix to this (Since my chicken
soup has salt in it, I did not add salt while cooking chicken). Cook chicken by
adding water until all the flesh become soft.
Step 2: Cut vegetables into small cube shapes. In a large pan, add olive oil and saute all the vegetables and garlic by adding
salt and pepper. Saute them until everything turn transparent.
Step 3:
When chicken becomes cook very well, separate chicken flesh from bone. (If you
really want, you can use all the bone part just before serving).
Step 4:
Now add all vegetables into chicken with chicken stock. Cook them for about 15 more minutes and check for salt and pepper. Bring it to cool down a little bit and
blend it in a blender. Chicken Soup is ready to serve. Sprinkle cilantro and
serve hot. Enjoy! |
