The common cold is a self-limited disease caused by any of the more than 200 viruses.
Traditionally, a member of Chinese families that colds were allowed to take the hot chicken soup and chicken rice soup, avoiding difficult to digest and cold foods. Nobody knows why, but it works more efficiently.
Here are some recipes for chicken soup and chicken congee I've used every time a member of my family to catch a cold.

Caring for the meat from the bones and try to keep the meat into large pieces. Skins and bones back to continue simmering pot. The chicken can then shredded into long thin for use in rice soup or salad strips.
Continue adding hot water pot to keep ingredients submerged during the remainder of the cooking time. I love my stock to simmer for at least 2 hours, but ideally it simmer for 6 hours or more. Once this is done, pour through a fine sieve into another pot stocks. Discard the solids.
Wash and drain rice. Heat a pan with olive oil, onion, ginger, garlic and rice and stir until rice is fragrant and completely coated with oil. Transfer the rice into the pan over low heat of the action. Bake 30 minutes or until rice is tender.
Add green onions, white part, fish sauce and salt and pepper. Serve in a bowl of soup, garnished with shredded chicken and chopped herbs. You can squeeze some fresh lemon juice for a burst of freshness. Mix all ingredients before eating to taste all the flavors.

Traditionally, rice soup is done when water is added to the rice and then boiled for a porridge consistency. By substituting chicken broth for water, rice soup has a strong extra flavor. Start by putting the broth and rice to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Then put the lid on the pot, letting out steam and rice.
Cook chicken in a pan for a minute or two to give it some color, then add the rice. Stir occasionally for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until rice soup reached the right consistency and serve. Season with salt and white pepper ingredients to flavor without the heat. If you have a steamer, adding your favorite vegetables in the pot will help infuse the chicken with vegetables and save cooking time!
