	Chicken Soup for Colds

		4 chicken legs, skinned 1 large onion 1 large/2 small lemons 2 thumb sized sprigs of ginger, grated whole garlic bulb water Add water, chicken onion and grated ginger to a large pan. The water should well cover the chicken. Bring to the boil and simmer for at least 1 hour. Carefully drain the soup through a sieve or colander into a bowl or another saucepan. Sort the chicken meat from the bones (the chicken meat should fall easily off the bone) and onion and ginger and add the meat to the liquid part. Add the crushed garlic cloves and half the lemon - either whole or juiced. Bring back to the boil and immediately reduce the heat. Simmer for a further 5 minutes. Serve with the juice of the remaining lemon. If the meat does not fall easily from the bone return to the heat and simmer for another 1/2 hour or until the meat does fall from the bone.
