When Israeli restauranteur Yael Shochat heard about the likelihood of many New Zealanders becoming unwell with Omicron, her Jewish mothering instincts kicked in. She started making batches of her famous Ashkenazi Chicken Soup to freeze.

As the scientific and Jewish communities have known for years, a good chicken soup can often help you feel better.

Yael says her chicken soup won't prevent you from catching Covid but it might help you get through the tough bit.
