Scientists have found that chicken soup has properties which aids in opening the congested sinuses and, the steam and warmth contribute to a feeling of well-being. I believe it is a natural treatment and a psychological one.

Not sure why.. But when I eat homemade chicken soup I heal as if I'm taking medicine. I don't have the same effect with canned.

Just tradtional, nothing curative about it. It's soft and warm like your mama. Psychological benefit.
