3 Feel-Better, Immune-Boosting, Flu-Fighting Soups

immune system

With COVID and the flu spreading, anyone and everyone are looking for ways to boost their immune system. It’s important that we all keep our immune systems strong to not only fight off colds and flu but any sort of virus as well.

It’s hard to get all of that in ONE food, that’s why it’s great to have a soup or stew that combines all the immune-boosting foods to help feed your body what it needs to fight off anything coming its way.

And these three feel-better soup recipes not only taste great but also boost your immune system! See below for the recipes:

Soul Food Cabbage Soup

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 onion, fresh yellow or brown chopped

4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 head cabbage, cored and coarsely chopped
1 (14.5 ounces) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, drained and diced
