Answer 2

Well, most people say chicken soup: however any soup works great. The broth is the most important. Any hot liquid will open the bronchial tubes and the steam will open your nostril to get more air in. This air is then mixed with moistness from the soup and helps the body clear the sickness out. So any hot broth, hot green tea will also help, much antioxidants.

Answer 3

It's not the kind of soup that will help alleviate your cold symptons.
It's the fact that the soup is mostly liquid. Liquids are what your body needs to help rid itself of the toxins that are in your system (usually naturally, but in your case a bit more because of the cold virus you're carrying).
So, if you want to get better quicker, drink plenty of fluids (this includes soup) and get lots of rest.
Hope you feel better soon!
