A Scottish doctor once told me to mix up Theraflu and spike it with a wee bit of brandy. Just a wee bit though, or it can seriously mess you up. I'm talking like 1oz or so MAX. (Made the mistake once of making it a bit too stiff and it ended up being far worse than any cold).
Kimchi Chigae is also a great 'cure'.
edit: I've never made it, so I'm not sure if that recipe is actually any good. It sounds about right though.
