It's that time of the tear between COVID and flu season. Soups , chilli, and hearty meals are in season.
This soup is a version my fitness friends would recommend to cook if fighting a cold. It is a common go to meal when sick with flu like symptoms . The sriracha gives it enough heat to help clear up that congestion for a bit as well. According to WebMd, "Garlic is widely recognized for its ability to fight bacteria, viruses, fungi, and even parasites."
Boost your immune system to fight off illnesses this season! Try it out!
