Flu Fighter Chicken Soup
Another delicious recipe shared with us by Arwen Genge from Arwen's Thermo Pics. This warming and wholesome soup is perfect for any time of the year, but particularly in those cooler months when colds and the flu are rife. Nothing beats a big bowl of steaming hot soup when you're feeling under the weather!
