image2This cooler weather also brings the dreaded early season colds and allergies. It is important to build up your immune system this time of year. I have also had horrible allergies this year, which I have never had before. When you can’t stop sniffling, sometimes all you need is some chicken noodle soup.
This chicken noodle soup has lemon, ginger and turmeric to give it an extra punch. All of these ingredients have so many health benefits and promote a healthy immune system. The orzo pasta is a fun change from normal chicken noodle soup. Even if you are not getting sick, making a batch of this soup will just make you even more prepared for winter!
