Chicken soup

My favourite soup! Warming, delicious and healing. Can fight colds and can boost the immune system.

When my kids are ill or unwell this is the dish I serve them. The combination of fresh chicken broth with vegetables and immunity boosting garlic helps them to feel better and recover.

Goes well with: flues, cold days, comfort eating

Ingredients

  • 4-6 chicken legs (drum sticks)
  • 3 medium sized carrots
  • 1 medium sized celeriac
  • 1 leek
  • 1 clove garlic (pressed)
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • Splash of vinegar
  • Chopped parsley to sprinkle
  • 2 litres water
