This phytochemical rich garlic broth will fight off any viral vampires you have to fight, whether it be a simple cold, flu, minor infection, Candida, immune disorder, or other nasty. This soup can't hurt and can only help - and will keep our snouts happy like every self- respecting peasant before us! It is delicious! Vampires beware!
