The Health Benefits of Chicken Soup Common Cold Cure

Chicken soup is hmm, hmm good! Not only does it taste good, it offers you great health benefits. Put chicken in a pot with water, onions, carrots, peppercorn and a little salt. Cook until it falls apart. Strain. Discard fat. Feed the overdone chicken and veggies to a hungry pet. Add a whole Chile pepper to the broth, half a large garlic clove, and thin slices of lemon. Serve steaming hot. This is the cure for the common cold.

This chicken soup recipe was created by Pauline M. Jackson, MD, a member of the board of directors at Gunderson Lutheran Medical Center in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and a firm believer of the powers of chicken soup. According to Dr. Jackson no remedy is more effective than chicken soup when it comes to honking and sniffling with a cold or other upper respiratory infection.

I love soup, but to leave out all of the meat and vegetables, I couldn’t do that. I’m not much of a broth person. I have to have it all. Either way you still get all of the nutrients from which ever way you eat your soup, meat and veggies or just broth.

Benefits of chicken soup

There was study done in 1978 concerning this savory brew in Miami Beach, Florida by lung specialists at Mount Sinai Center. They tested 15 people with colds to sip either hot chicken soup, hot water or cold water. The measured how quickly and easily the mucus and air flowed through the patient’s noses.   The results was determined that chicken soup reduced nasal congestion better than hot and cold water.

I’m a fan of chicken noodle soup. Both offer the same benefits. Chicken soup may relieve cold symptom, speculated the researchers, because the  heat “increases nasal velocity.” So, to sum it all up it makes the noses run, possibly reducing the time that cold germs spend in your nose.
