Unsick Soupy Soup

     I want to share a soup recipe I use to combat or ward off flu and colds.  I sometimes buy soup broth but most often I make my own useing either juice from vegetables or chicken or both.  I just add everyday spices that most people keep on hand all the time.  http://www.greenpharmacy.com/

Basil – upper respiratory, Oregano – for upper respiratory, Red pepper – upper respiratory and thins mucus.  Garlic – an antitoxidant, upper respiratory – many more benefits, ginger – reduces pain and fevor and has many more benefits.  Bell pepper – upper respiratory and also rich in vitamin c.  I usually don’t need to add salt as it tastes salty enough for me after adding spices.  I use pepper.  I might add other spices depending what I’m aiming at.  Say if I had arthritis I would add Rosemary, Tumeric, Fenugreek.  Lot’s of fluids when uesing lot’s of spices.  Don’t over do – use a normal amount of spices.  Throw in some spinach if you have it.  Instead of crackers I like to slice up a tomatoe and throw it on top just before I eat the soup. 

The main ingredient after garlic for flu and pneumonia is a  large onion – upper respiratory.  It also lowers cholesterol and high blood pressure.  You can add green onions if you like.  I try to pick a clean onion because I float the onion peel in the soup until done then discard it.  Carrotts, Celery, spinach,  cabbage, What ever greens I have really.  Leave it soupy.  You need lots of fluids to fight colds and flu’s.
