I begin by boiling the water and pre-heating the oven to 350 degrees Celsius first. While the water and oven are getting ready, I start chopping my spices and all other foods needed to make the soup.

When the oven is ready I put my 2 or 3 bulbs into the Garlic Roaster to roast for approximately 10 minutes.

The carrots and celery go first. Use it to your hearts content. If you like a lot then go for it. If not, then only use enough to add some nice colour, but it should be added for it's health benefits. I usually use about 1/4 cup of chopped dill and put this into the boiling water next.

Parsley is a diuretic. (That means you will be using the washroom after.) Use parsley in moderation. Less than a 1/3 cup is sufficient, but you can use more. Do not use more than 1/2 a cup as that as it is way to hard on your bowels.

I remove the garlic from the oven at this point, unpeel and drop into the soup. Again if you are not a fan of the clove, only use a couple and dice them up small.

I sprinkle as much pepper on as possible remembering who else aside from myself will be eating it.

Then I add the Jalapeños. Whether it is crushed Jalapeños, or Jalapeños that I have diced myself, the spice factor is what you are after with this one.

Although you may not enjoy Jalapeños, it makes for an amazing spice in your get - well - soon - soup. Jalapeños increase your white blood cells assisting your body with fighting off a virus.

Depending on the size of pot you are using, gage how many cups of Rotini Noodles to use. I try to add at least 3 1/2 - 4 cups as I know I will add more water when I unfreeze it for another meal.

Stir on occasion so that the noodles do not get stuck together.

The very very last thing I do before taking it off the stove? I cut two lemons in half. They have seeds so you can use your hand to strain them, but this gives a little more kick with those first few slurps!

All in all, this is a very healthy soup recipe, filled with roasted garlic!

Now that everything has been added I wait.

You can add cooked chicken to add protein to this soup. It is a great protein for soup, and offers the body added iron that is lacking when we are ill.

The whole process takes me approximately 30 - 40 minutes from first adding the water to in my own bowl.
