The power of herbs for preppers “A Herbal Healing Soup Recipe”

This soup works amazing for Colds Flues and Bronchial infections. Firstly the Thyme adds not only a punch is the seasoning but in both providing both antiviral and antibacterial properties. My grandmother ALWAYS added thyme Garlic and Parsley to the soups as well as both black and red crushed pepper.  
Secondly, Fresh pressed Garlic will give a nice seasoning particularly with the thyme and will ad a Whopping antiviral kick to this Soup Recipe. Then there is Cumin a overall nutritional supplement that is great for flavor and fights colds flues and even some cases of bronchitis’. But then there is Cayenne this herb adds not only heat but acts as a diaphoretic and opens the pores and the toxins from within the body(the cold or flu) get excreted.

Overall this is a great tasting soup and is very easy refreshing and even a child can have some…
