From a homeopathic view, chickens are the housekeepers of the land. Homesteads thrive when chickens roam free, recycling kitchen scraps and finding nourishment in earthworms and insects.
All over the planet, we see chickens connecting humans directly to the earth.
These Ladies understand...
The marrow of the chicken is rich in nutrients from the earth. By eating local birds, we inoculate ourselves with the bio-organisms living in the soil and thriving in our environment, in turn making our immune systems strong.
The wisdom of the body knows. Eating chicken soup feels good.
*A note regarding ingredients...
Hormone and chemical residues from factory farms do not enhance our immune systems. These additives build up in fatty tissues, which turn into our chicken broth. Buy organic, free range, local chickens. Onion and garlic are kitchen remedies for the common cold. Eating raw garlic staves off even the most stubborn bugs. Rosemary and marjoram have been used for centuries to imbue protection and boost immunity. Use all local, fresh herbs when possible.
Medicinal Chicken Soup
1 whole free range organic chicken
2 whole onions
2 cloves of garlic
4 stalks of celery, including the leafy tops
4 sprigs of marjoram
4 sprigs of rosemary
salt and pepper
nutritional yeast
Stuff the chicken with one whole peeled onion and one whole peeled clove of garlic. In a stock pot, cover the chicken with water. Bring to a boil, cover, and let simmer for 90-120 minutes. Add water if the water level drops below the chicken.
Turn off the heat and let stand until the broth comes down to room temperature. Remove the chicken from the broth and let it cool. Strain the broth into a saucepan. Add finely chopped onion, garlic, celery, marjoram and rosemary. Let the stock simmer on low for 45 minutes. Add veggies, rice, or quinoa, and top with nutritional yeast. Enjoy.
