Immune Booster Soup

Is it an old wives' tale, or does chicken noodle soup simmered with the bones really cure all ills? You decide. Give yourself enough time to let it simmer to get the marrow from the bones into the water and to blend the flavors. I suppose you could enjoy this delightful soup when in perfect health as well.
