Chicken is also among the healthiest. A study published in the medical journal Chest has shown that this broth has therapeutic properties , because it relaxes the upper airways and promotes nasal decongestion.
It is not, in fact, a medical novelty, since the first allusions to chicken soup date back to the 12th century, when the famous doctor Maimonides recommended it to patients with respiratory problems. It has been part of the Mediterranean diet since the 1st century, although it is known that soup was cooked in prehistoric times. In the Font-de-Gaume grotto in Les-Eyzies-de-Tayac (Dordogne, France) some prehistoric engravings made in the stone have been found, where men are shown preparing a broth, although it is possible that the real objective was soften some animal. Be it the vermicelli of oysters and noodles that they eat in Taiwan, the Paraguayan – so solid that you have to use a knife – or our homeland of onion, soups continue to have a fundamental place on the tables of the whole world.
