A cure for a cold

This soup i got from one of the ladies I used to work with at Earth and Beyond one time when I was sick. Unfortunately with the flu virus becoming stronger every year, this soup does not work the magic it once did, but, its still a great supplement towards helping you along back to health.


1 boneless, skinless chicken breast

2 cups chicken broth

1 carrot, shredded (optional)

5 - 7 Garlic Cloves minced or more if you can take it

the juice of one whole lemon (or half if your not a lemon fan)

Salt and Pepper to taste... with more emphasis on the pepper.

1 shot of Scotch or Whiskey

Heat the broth in a pan, add the garlic, lemon juice and chicken, boil till the chicken is cooked, put in your carrot if you wish cook, till heated through and eat. Carrot is good for the vitamin C, but lets face it, when you have the flu, you really don't feel like doing a whole lot. Follow this up with a shot of scotch and tuck yourself in for a nap. The scotch actually does help medicinally!!
