chicken soup in Jackson Heights

Being sick in August is no fun. Any recs for great chicken soup in the area? I was thinking about the pho gai at Thai Son, but any thoughts about the chicken soup at one of the Mexican, Columbian, or Indian-Chinese places around? Or Thai, for that matter. Many thanks!

    Oh, I feel your pain, just getting over it now, after 2 weeks, my whole family had it. It's been going around Queens, bad chest cold, bronchitis, cough! Check out my thread from last week: It helped a bit. Went to Srip yesterday, for their shrimp with garlic and pepper, and lots of other spicy stuff...it's great for opening you up.

    Just stay away from anything with cheese...stick with chinese, Japanese, Thai, or Indian. I just can't do matzo ball soup in the summer.

      Samgyetang (chicken w/ ginseng soup) at Chung Ki Wa, the 24-hour Korean place on Broadway and 74th.
