Chicken Soup is one of those foods that are comforting and almost universally loved. This recipe is one of the many versions of it. A bowl can cure the common cold, a bout of nostalgia or even a broken heart.

- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano

- salt and pepper to taste
Method
Salt chicken lightly. Add water, chicken, tomato paste, onion, corn, garlic and oregano to large pot. Bring to boil, then reduce to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
