One of the things I try to make during the holidays is a simple ginger-garlic chicken soup.
Nothing fancy and definitely not a typical holiday dish. Just chicken, lots of fresh ginger and garlic, some mushrooms, a squeeze of lemon, and whatever greens I have on hand.
It's warm, it's comforting, and it's packed with ingredients that actually support your immune system.
✅ Ginger reduces inflammation.
✅ Garlic has natural antiviral properties.
✅ Mushrooms boost white blood cell production.
✅ Citrus gives you vitamin C.
✅ Greens provide the nutrients your body needs to stay strong.
And the best part? It tastes good. No one is thinking "this is healthy food." They're just enjoying it!
(I talk more about natural ways to support your immunity during flu season in my recent blog - link in bio.)
I love that food can be medicine without feeling like a chore. Especially during the holidays when you're already juggling a million things.
Your immune system needs support this time of year - between the stress, the lack of sleep, the sugar, and everyone gathering indoors.
What do you love making during the holidays?
