Got the sniffles. Does caldo de pollo really help with a cold?

Hello, dear forum! Caught a bit of a cold and craving some caldo de pollo. I've heard it's supposed to help, kind of like a natural remedy. Do you think there's any truth to that, or is it just a tasty myth? Would love to kick this cold to the curb!

Caldo de pollo, or chicken soup, can help alleviate cold symptoms due to its warm, hydrating properties and soothing effect on the throat. The steam can help clear nasal congestion, and the nutrients from the chicken and vegetables support the immune system. While it’s not a cure, it can provide comfort and some symptom relief.
