Just read this in Curves Diane magazine (Winter 2011, p.19)

“…chicken soup contains the amino acid cysteine, which chemically resembles the bronchitis drug acetylcyteine, and the soup broth helps keep mucus thin, just as cough syrups do.”

I knew it wasn’t my imagination that chicken soup really works!  I remember visiting my friend Julia when I was a teenager.  She had made chicken soup from scratch.  I leaned over to inhale the amazing aroma and my sinuses completely drained!  (It may have helped that she surely had some amazing recipe from her Jewish grandmother).

I have a sudden craving for chicken soup.  Preferably Julia’s.  (Time to  book a flight to France, perhaps?)  😉
