Virtues of chicken soup?!

Question: Virtues of chicken soup.?

I've had a bad cold for the past two days and my partner told me to have a big bowl of chicken soup (the instant stuff, with the swimming noodles).
I have to say it worked the bee's knees and I felt really better after drinking it.( I'm french therefore we don't have the same remedies, it's usually drinking orange juice for the vitamin C)
