Cold Cure Soup

For my friends over at TEC, here's my recipe for Cold Cure Soup! This is a bare-bones, not fancy-looking recipe post. Deal with it!

You'll need:
2 large onions
7-8 cloves of garlic
3 cans veg or chicken broth. Stock is better if you can get it - 2 boxes of stock if you get that stuff in the boxes.
2 chicken breasts
2 carrots
2 ribs of celery
3 potatoes
dash of olive oil
pinch salt
pepper to taste
1 bay leaf
1 tsp red pepper flakes
Italian seasoning to taste (basil, parsley, rosemary, thyme)

Dice onion, mince garlic, chop celery and carrots. Pour small amount of oil in pot over medium heat, sweat onions, garlic, celery, red pepper and carrots with a pinch of salt until onions are see-through. Add bay leaf, pepper, seasoning, and broth/stock. Dice potatoes and chicken breast into bite sized pieces, add to broth. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes and chicken are cooked through.

Onions and garlic are said to help the immune system, and the little kick of red pepper should help clear clogged noses.
