According to the studies, "Chicken soup contains a number of substances with beneficial medicinal activity including an anti-inflammatory mechanism that could ease the symptoms of upper respiratory  tract infections. Researches from the Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Section of the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha , Nebraska initiated a study to evaluate the possibility that chicken soup may be a factor in attenuating the inflammatory response associated with colds.The recipe I have used here is inspired from net and a few more articles that I came across. I prepared this nice and comforting Chicken and Prawns noodle soup for my daughter twice this week and I saw it worked wonders on her :-)
