Homemade chicken soup is packed with good nutrients and it is made by simmering chicken bones, which are loaded with gelatin and proteins which tend to boost collagen in our bodies.
Chicken soup may help strengthen your immune system, decreasing the risk of chronic diseases.
The amino acid in chicken thins the mucus in the lungs hence it is good for a sore throat and cold.
Adding a few vegetables can help add flavor to the blunt taste of the soup.
