Chicken soup has been a popular remedy for the common cold for centuries across cultures. The perceived health benefits are likely a combination of placebo and science. Many people associate chicken soup with childhood memories of comfort and care, which may contribute to its perceived effectiveness.
This recipe is a variation of the classic Mexican sopa de lima. Fennel and cabbage add a touch of aromatic heartiness, while lime brightens the flavor and adds vitamin C, another beneficial nutrient during a cold.
