I know this is a little bit on the silly side but I hear so many people assert that chicken soup is good for a cold and even famous people on TV have books and tv show segments with titles like "chicken soup for the soul" so it makes you wonder a little why we have so many of these sorts of ideas about the near miracle power of chicken soup?

It does not CURE a cold, but Chicken Soup has been shown to BE GOOD FOR lessening the symptoms.

It was yummy, it had chicken drumsticks, vegetable stock, diced onion, sliced carrots, diced potatoes, green beans, and lots of white pepper.

Corporate marketing in movies, television and other mass media. Word of mouth by people who watch or listen to such marketing to others. That's it. There is no science behind it that I'm aware of.
