COLD CURE SOUP
This soup started life as quite a different thing. I'd made a traditional Persian chicken, cinnamon and Seville-orange stew and realized that it was the scented broth I loved the most. So I cut to the chase. A supermarket packet of chicken wings, a stick of cinnamon, a carrot, an onion, a knob of ginger and the juice and zest of an orange left to simmer on the stove make a restorative broth that delights, soothes and helps fight off winter blues. I like it sprinkled with chopped cilantro and chilies, but you could make more of a meal of it by adding shredded chicken and noodles. (This recipe originally called for a Seville orange, but we've modified it so it can be made with a combination of orange and lime juice. If you have access to Seville oranges, all the better!)

Steps:
- In a large stockpot, combine chicken, carrot, onion, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Add 3 quarts water, orange zest and juice.
- Place over high heat, and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, until liquid has reduced to about half and chicken flavor is strong, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, and discard solids. Allow broth to cool, then refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, remove layer of solidified fat from surface, and wipe surface of congealed soup with a paper towel to remove traces of grease. Soup may be covered and refrigerated for up to three days.
- To serve, warm soup, ladle into mugs or bowls, and garnish.

COLD CURE SOUP
Nothing cures the common cold, but this soup will surely relieve some of the symptoms for you! The aromatic herbs will help open your breathing passages, with the ginger, red pepper flakes and cinnimon. Be sure to inhale the wonderful aroma! Seville oranges are seasonal and sometimes I can't find them, so I just use regular navel oranges, or whatever I can get,so don't worry about it.
