It is March 26, 4 days before Easter Sunday and we have snow and it is dreary and overcast in Louisville, KY. My DD turned 15 last week and was suffering from a cold and flu like symptoms on her birthday-poor baby! That combination has had us craving some warm soup.
Canned and home-made soups alike, research suggests, quiet the activity of our immune cells that contribute to inflammatory symptoms such as body aches. Adding few added ingredients to your soup can help you get over being sicker quicker:
Stuffy nose? Add minced garlic
Trouble sleeping: Add rice
Queasy: Add ginger (remember your mom giving you a glass of luke warm ginger ale?)
Heartburn: Chew gum
and get a good night sleep (I find that is the best medicine)
