Immunity-boosting chicken soup

Of all the folk remedies for fighting a head cold, a hearty bowl of chicken soup has to be the
hands-down winner. So pervasive is the belief in the healing power of chicken soup – aka
“Jewish penicillin” – that scientists have actually taken it into the lab for testing.
One such study, undertaken in 2000 by Dr Stephen Rennard (a pulmonary expert from
Nebraska) concluded it was the anti-inflammatory properties of many of chicken soup’s
ingredients that helped ease the symptoms of a cold by reducing congestion.
While such studies can’t be considered conclusive, they do add weight to the claims of
grandmothers across the centuries.
There’s nothing a bowl of chicken soup won’t cure, is there?

a glass At the very least for those suffering a chill, soups provide
hydration and also contain nutritious ingredients that are well
cooked and therefore easy to digest. Chicken soup, however,
has an added benefit. Chicken protein provides an ample
source of cysteine – an amino acid chemically similar to a
drug known as acetylcysteine, which can clear mucus.
A properly prepared pot of chicken stock will also contain
gelatin extracted from the collagen in the chicken. The gelatin
exudes a velvety texture and adds a rich flavour to the stock base. It’s also a source of hydrophilic colloids; compounds that attract gastric juices and stimulate digestion.
Here are some other ways to add an immunity boost to chicken soup:
Garlic
In traditional herbal medicine garlic was used to prevent and treat colds and flu, coughs and
to expel parasites. The compound allicin is the major biologically active component of garlic
and is largely responsible for its anti-microbial activity. It becomes active when the garlic is
crushed or chewed and the compound allicin is exposed to the enzyme alliinase. For this

reason, garlic is best consumed fresh, with minimal cooking. Finely chopping it or putting it
through a garlic press will help realise its full spectrum of benefits.
Ginger
Ginger contains a number of immune-boosting properties that can add an extra kick to your
pot of soup. Gingerol, which is found in fresh ginger, contains anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial
properties that can dampen the symptoms associated with colds. Fresh ginger also
has a unique diaphoretic capacity – meaning that it can create heat throughout the body and
also induce sweating, which often provides relief after the onset of a cold.
Turmeric
Turmeric is considered a general immune system booster due to its high antioxidant capacity.
Recent research also suggests that it possesses strong anti-inflammatory properties that
could help reduce symptoms associated with colds and flu. Tumeric also contains unique
immune-stimulating polysaccharides, which can potentially aid the healing process in the
body.
A note about chicken
Look for a free-range bird that is fairly small in size. Smaller birds contain more skin, bone and
connective tissue, which will result in a richer broth with more flavour. A few extra chicken feet,
some necks or even a few wingettes will also add to the richly gelatinous mouth feel.
RECIPE: Arabella Forge’s cold-busting chicken soup
This soup is made with a base of chicken stock made from one whole chicken. As a short-cut
you can buy ready made stock and use chicken breast or leftover roast chicken. However, using
a whole chicken is more economical and also provides leftovers for the next meal.
For the stock
1 whole, small-sized chicken, (roughly 1.2-1.4kg) feet and neck included (optional)
2 large onions, finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon (loosely packed) finely chopped sage
1 teaspoon (loosely packed) finely chopped thyme
1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 large carrot
1 large stick of celery
For the soup
2 litres of chicken stock (extracted from stock-making recipe)
2 cups shredded chicken meat (extracted from stock making recipe)
1 1/2 cups finely chopped celery
1 1/2 cups finely chopped carrots
2 – 5 cloves garlic minced garlic (a garlic crusher works a treat)
1 tablespoon finely grated ginger
1 teaspoon finely grated turmeric
1 cup (loosely packed) finely chopped parsley
1/2 cup (loosely packed) finely chopped fresh coriander
1 can green lentils, drained and rinsed (optional)
generous seasoning of sea salt
