There really is something to be said about “Chicken Soup for the Soul”. It’s jut what you want when you’re sick, or when the weather temps dip, right? But I think it’s because intuitively, our bodies know that there is healing power in broth.

Let’s list a few here:

• It’s the perfect mix of electrolytes, our bodies need to heal and hydrate us at a cellular level.

• It is packed with collagen that is healing to our bones. And you know what? Our immune fighting T cells and B cells are formed in our bones! In ancient nutritional wisdom, like cures like. So bone broth is healing to our bones and our immune system.

• The amino acid profile of broth is complementary to meat, and helps to balance our any inflammatory properties of meat on it’s own

• It is easy to digest, and when we’re sick, we don’t need heavy meals that are harder to digest, but easy ones so our body can divert energy into healing us.

• You can make huge batches to freeze for when you need it most and don’t want to cook it.

This is my basic chicken soup recipe I have used for years. But It can be added to easily, so get creative with it.
