Super Smokey Chicken Soup is a powerhouse of nourishment, offering a delicious way to support both your immune system and skin health. Built on a foundation of collagen-rich chicken bone broth, this soup works to strengthen your body from within, promoting youthful-looking skin while also keeping your defenses strong – essential at this time of year! The high concentration of minerals in the broth helps to replenish essential nutrients, making it a perfect remedy when you need a comforting, immune-boosting meal.
Beyond its benefits for immunity, this soup also contributes to overall wellness. Glycine, an amino acid found in bone broth, has been shown to enhance sleep quality – one of the most essential factors for repair and rejuvenation. Deep, restorative sleep allows your body to heal, reducing inflammation and giving your skin a natural glow alongside your skincare treatments.
Smoked paprika not only gives this soup its distinctive depth of flavor but also provides antioxidants that combat oxidative stress, while garlic and thyme offer powerful antibacterial properties to help fight off seasonal colds. Packed with fiber-rich vegetables like leeks, carrots, and sweet potatoes, this soup is as nourishing as it is satisfying.
Whether you’re feeling run-down or simply craving a warm, smokey bowl of goodness, this recipe is the perfect combination of comfort food with a wellness boost.
