She didn't follow any single recipe, more like she was told the recipe but these should get you in the ball park.

First sip comes on really strong - and I'm a spice head...then it's like hmm...dunno........then half into the bowl it's getting REALLY good.....and when down to a quarter, this is THE best chicken soup EVER.

Sounds yummy.

For warming up and clearing out the sinuses, I love tom yum chicken (or shrimp) soup. It requires kaffir lime leaves though, which are hard to find, so I typically just order the soup from a local Thai restaurant.

I've had that too. Good stuff.

I need to add a long simmer, or reheat the next day makes this kind even better.

Geeze Pablo, you've been sick a lot lately! Too many 2 stroke fumes.

My first cold in a LONG time, actually.

The pine mouth thing wasn't really a "sickness".

What else?

I just noticed something....only one of those recipes has chipotle chile in adobo, and some have tomato.

There is no tomato in the real thing and you gotta have the adobo or it won't work.
