Furthermore, I would like to share the reasons why chicken clear soup is healthy. Firstly, it is the best home remedy for cold and flu especially, during winter. The lean protein in chicken and nutrients from carrot gives strength to your body when you are sick. The beta-carotene in the carrots and the onions helps to boost your immune system and fight infection when you are sick. The hot chicken clear soup also helps to remove bacteria in the throat, mouth and tonsils. Finally, fresh ginger julienne also helps you to get relief from a throat infection.
