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.
