Small habanero pepper (optional: if you prefer a spicy soup)
½ onion
4 oz. of tomato sauce
Fennel, Basil (fresh or dry), Sage (fresh or dry), Oregano leaves (fresh or dry) (optional: If you wish to add all these herbs to pack the soup with more anti-viral ingredients)
Directions

4. Add the habanero pepper (optional) and ginger to cook along with the meat for 5 minutes.
5. After 5 minutes blend the habanero pepper, garlic, the other half onion, and ginger root with ½ cup of water then add it to the pot.
6. Add 4oz. of tomato sauce and allow it to cook for 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of water if the soup is drying out and adjust the taste by adding some salt (1/2 tsp.).

At this point, you can allow soup your soup is done, however, if you prefer to pack your soup with more anti-viral and anti-bacterial herbs follow the next steps.

Recommendation
To make a great soup, you need to start with a great broth which you get from the meat. While making soup, do not only use the meat part only, thrown in some bones. The bone from the meat gives the broth/soup such a great flavor. Soup made with meat and bones has an amazing taste. The featured picture on this post, I used the bonny part of the smoked turkey.
