Chicken soup is known for its healing properties and I've always believed it's good for the soul too. Wanting to make my weary husband something packed with nutrition and power from restorative veggies like ginger and mushrooms, I threw together this simple Asian Chicken soup. It's really clean and as hubby will testify (since it is the only thing he would eat that week) it just makes you feel good. The kids couldn't get enough of it either and especially liked sucking on the coins of ginger which soften from steeping in the warm broth.
So in the unfortunate event that you or one of your loved ones succumb to a cold or some other bug, instead of immeditately reaching for a bottle of syrupy cough medicine or a pack of cold pills, try making a cup of ginger lemon tea, sip on a mug full of this soup, hit the hay, and let nature deliciously heal all.
