Why it’s good:
The ingredients in my chicken soup have been specifically selected to help strengthen the immune system and to help fight cold, flu and allergies.
Garlic and ginger are antimicrobial herbs that may help to relieve symptoms of cold and flu, stimulate circulation and boost the immune system.
Chicken is a great source of complete protein which provides amino acids necessary to fight disease and strengthen your immune system.
Mushrooms add a vitamin B12 kick for a healthy metabolism and will give you energy, whist spinach helps to alkalinize the body, creating the perfect environment for your cells to nourish and heal.
