Yum For BABY: Chicken Soup

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!
