.When times are stressful, we often turn to comfort foods to help us deal with our emotions. However, continuing to nourish your body during this time with high quality foods is important for your health and your immune system. Enjoy this tasty chicken soup that is loaded with anti-inflammatory ingredients like garlic, turmeric, and ginger.
