When I have a cold or I feel the onset of a cold I make a big pot of  homemade chicken soup!

Ingredients:

(1) 1 WHOLE bulb of garlic (cloves can either be diced or left whole)

(2) 3-4  small to medium washed chicken thighs or 1 washed large cut up chicken breast (skinned or unskinned)

(3) 1 large onion diced (white, purple, yellow)

(4) Two large cans of chicken or vegetable broth.

(5) 1 half stick of butter or 3 tablespoons of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil).

(6) A hand full of chopped celery stalks, and chopped up fresh parsley, salt, pepper, a teaspoon of Accent Food/Flavor Enhancer or season the way you want to.

(7) 1 cup of brewed green or black tea

(8) 1 whole squeezed fresh lemon or lime

Cook/ boil chicken parts for a half an hour with butter, then add all the other ingredients. Cook on low to medium heat for an hour and a half or until meat is thoroughly cooked….Serve warm/enjoy!

This homemade remedy for a cold has surely helped me ease my cold symptoms and helped me fight my cold quicker.
