Chicken soup is a top choice for many people seeking to boost their immune system, including varieties such as chicken feet soup, chicken breast soup, and shredded chicken soup. When paired with small amounts of vegetables, herbs, fruits, and other ingredients, it can fully meet individual nutritional needs. Ginseng soup (American ginseng) is an excellent remedy for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. It not only helps prevent illness and improve fitness but also effectively resists various viruses and enhances the body's immune function. Bamboo shoot puree soup provides essential nutrients, promotes metabolism, and regulates immunity. This highly nutritious soup can effectively strengthen the body’s resistance and enhance immune function. Corn soup, made from corn, vegetables, chicken bouillon, and other ingredients, helps regulate body constitution, maintain overall health, replenish nutrients, and support improved immunity. Lotus root soup not only clears heat and relieves irritability but also detoxifies the spleen and stomach, regulates the immune system, strengthens the body, and contributes to enhanced immunity. Additionally, goji berry soup is recommended. This soup is not only delicious but also gently nourishes the spleen and stomach, aids digestion, boosts immunity, and helps protect the body against various viruses.
