Soups, the indispensable delights of winter months, have surrendered to a brand-new recipe this year. This special soup, known as the 'Italian Penicillin' on social media, is challenging traditional recipes.

Its preparation is quite straightforward. Cile Wells gives the recipe as follows:

'All you need to do is sauté chopped carrots, celery, white onion, and garlic. Add your preferred thyme and bone broth. I also grated some fresh turmeric and ginger to boost your immunity. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables soften, then blend with a hand blender. When everything has reached your desired consistency, add a tablespoon of chicken bouillon, a few cups of cooked rice, and a few cups of shredded chicken. After stirring, add extra salt and pepper to taste. I served it with grated Parmesan and pepper on top. This will help you overcome your illness and strengthen your immunity.'

Nutrition experts are shedding light on the antiviral and antibacterial properties of ginger, while also highlighting the inflammation-fighting compound, curcumin, found in turmeric.
