HOnestly, this soup has made a bunch of folks feel better. I get calls from across the US every year for "the soup." For sour throats or lost voices, I have two recipes---

bahamian cure - rum, sugar and lemon juice

Texan cure - whiskey, honey and lemon juice.

Mostly we use chicken corn soup and "drink orange juice til you puke." as the cure. Feel free to use the soup recipe, just give me a credit and send them to my website www.bevhale.com and I'll be happy camper.
