Spicy Asian Chicken Soup

Name: Spicy Asian Chicken Soup
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 can (48 oz) nonfat chicken broth; 1/4 cup soy sauce; 1 tbsp brown sugar; 1/4 tsp Asian chili sauce (or 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes); 2 tbsp fresh lime juice; 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut in 8 slices; 3/4 lb boneless chicken breasts, cut in thin 3-inch-long strips; 3 tbsp cornstarch; 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms (or white button mushrooms); 1 cup snap peas (or snow peas); 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and julienned; 1 tsp lime zest; 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Although this recipe has a long ingredients list, it's a snap to throw together, even when you're zapped by sneezes and sniffles. Best of all, you'll be feeling better in a flash — chicken soup is a true germ conqueror, and the spiciness kicks up the cure a notch.
