This soup is definitely a comfort food. There is something about it that just feels fresh and clean. A friend of mine made me this soup years ago and I will never forget the clean and fulfilling taste of it.
After years of searching for a similar recipe, I decided to make my own and it sure did not disappoint. It is super easy to make. Ginger, known for its anti- inflammatory properties is perfect for fighting colds, and halting the growth of bacteria. that combined with the Chicken Broth will surely get you or your family feeling back to normal in no time.
