Chicken Soup is the second-best among all reagents for restoring hunger, second only to George Melonium, which is 25% better per volume. Without going too deep into the code, it's because it has a relatively average amount of hunger restored per tick, but its depletion rate is half of normal. Twice as effective as Triple C is for thirst. One 60-credit can can bring you up from 0% hunger to 100% hunger.
Three times. Kinda crazy.
Even worse, it's the best option for food poisoning. Taking only one sip has a 93% chance of curing food poisoning. Other options for curing food poisoning are robustissin, which has a 98% chance of curing food poisoning at 5 units, and puts you at risk of getting an addiction. Considering that the ONLY cure for an addiction is to sleep for 2-3 minutes (Note that the maximum recommended brig time by spacelaw is 5 minutes), that 5% difference is well worth it. Tumeric and Honey Tea are harder to get and worse than chicken soup, so I'm not considering them. (note: I wasn't able to find anything saying that spaceacillin cured food poisoning in the code.)
