Chicken Soup Question (Cold)

[Guest guest]

There is something going around (Alyssa posted on something similar) and a couple of people around me have it.  Sore throat, grouchy*, congestion, etc.  One has had it amost two weeks.  I don't want it!

 

So what all 'good' could go into chicken soup?  I had in mind 2 heads of garlic, lots of fresh ginger, young bunch of carrots, a whole onion, ACV, anything else? 

 

I received an email about an onion being left in the bedroom overnight with someone who has flu/chest issues and the onion absorbed it.  They said a doctor could see it under the microscope (bacteria).  Snopes had mixed reviews.

 

Anyone have thoughts on this?

 

Thanks,
