Golden Soup
This soup is good for those who have colds or influenza. There is no mucking around - just fling it all in the pan
and let it go. Thicken at the end only if you wish to.

250 gm (8 ounces) of sweet potato, peeled and diced small
1 cup of cooked diced chicken
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
Optional:
5 teaspoons corn flour
1/4 cup water.

minutes.

If you don't have any chicken stock just use water and
stock powder instead. It won't be quite as nourishing
but will still taste fantastic.
Food Facts:
The chicken is a descendant of the Southeast Asian red jungle
fowl, first domesticated in India around 2000 B.C.
Chickens and turkeys are known to cross-breed, these
breeds are known as "Turkins". There are more chickens than
people in the world. Chicken meat is a good source of the
mineral selenium that is an infection-fighting anti oxidant.
Chicken contains lysene which is an anti viral amino acid. It also
contains good amounts of vitamin B3, B6 and potassium. Chicken
is a useful source of protein if the skin is removed.
