The EMS Immunity Soup Recipe
Contributed by: Jennifer Milus
EMS personnel are constantly exposed to all sorts of germs and ill folks. With the cold and flu season setting in, now’s the perfect time to fill your thermos with something hot to boost the immune system and keep you warm!
Cold and Flu Broth
4 cups purified water
2 cloves organic garlic/chopped
1/2 organic zucchini/cubed
3 medium organic mushrooms/cubed
1 cube organic vegetarian vegetable bouillon
12-15 fresh organic green beans/cut in half
1 Cayenne pepper to taste
Combine ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil until the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat.
Drink the soup throughout the day when you have the flu or a cold. It should be taken each day that you are ill. This recipe will stimulate your immune system, as well as clear your sinuses and open your throat. The soup can be refrigerated for a few days, but make sure it doesn't sit too long. Hope you like it!
