So you’ve heard it from both sides about chicken soup and the flu. Which side is true?

Chicken soup does have healing properties. There are a lot of nutrients in real chicken broth. The vegetables have vitamins. And, chicken itself has protein. The warmth of the soup can soothe a sore throat and warm your body’s core which can reduce a fever. These are all good strategies for you when battling sickness.

As for the “cure” part? The only cure it surely has is, curing hunger. But, it’s important to keep eating when you are sick, so your body doesn’t attack itself from starvation or dehydration, and only attacks the virus.

So I say, if you like chicken soup or you need to eat, grab a spoon and eat the chicken soup. It will give comfort and nutrition to help you keep your strength in fighting the flu.
