Hey guys, there is a certain situation around the world, that just doesn’t want to go away. Sometimes it feels like we can do absolutely nothing to change it, but the truth is, we can! We can start looking after ourselves more than ever. Because who, if not you, is responsible for your health? Lucky for us, the things that can boost our immune system significantly are things that are fun. Things like a walk in the park, good sleep, chatting with a friend, and eat the right food. And this easy chicken soup recipe is exactly what you need!

Why did I call this recipe healthy chicken soup:

I grew up eating chicken soup on all kinds of occasions. While the Sunday chicken soup might have been missed sometimes, the chicken soup for when I had a cold was not optional! I always found it so interesting that certain foods have been known for their healing properties for centuries. Chicken broth cooked the right way has an incredible number of health benefits. Chicken broth is rich in essential fatty acids and protein. Both of which help your body build and repair healthy muscle, bone, skin, and blood cells. Thanks to its rich content in vitamins and minerals it is very useful against common ailments like the common cold and the flu.

Ok, back to the soup. I cooked this for dinner the other night. I had a beautiful chicken broth which I cooked for over 5 hours. I randomly put some potatoes, chickpeas, sauteed onion, and diced tomatoes and it turned out amazing. My five year old said I need to share it on my blog and let you all know that this soup is his new favorite food! 🙂 Which I will happily do!
