To thin down mucus in the lungs, making it easier to expel, use this classic garlicky Chicken Soup recipe to treat asthma.
- 3 tbsps of olive oil
- 1 whole clove of garlic, peeled and sliced
- 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into cubes
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 4 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 3-4 quarts of chicken broth
- dash of cayenne pepper to taste
- salt and pepper
In a large soup pot, heat oil. Add the garlic, onion, celery and chicken; saute for 5 to 10 minutes. Add broth, carrots, and potatoes. Bring to a boil. Simmer until vegetables are cooked; about 20 minutes. Add cayenne pepper and salt and pepper to taste midway through the cooking process.
Making Chicken Soup releases a protein that is very effective in moving mucous.
A slow and continuous intake of this soup will serve you or your child well. The spicier the soup, the more effective in stimulating mucous secretions. This helps to clear the head.
