My nana used to say that a cold takes 7 days coming, 7 days staying and 7 days leaving. There could be a lot of reasons why it took so long to recover last time. Perhaps you didn't rest as much as you thought you did and resumed normal activity too quickly. Perhaps it did cause another infection. Perhaps it wasn't a cold at all since there are more than just a few with symptoms similar to a cold.
There have been studies that say chicken soup does have a positive effect on a cold. There have been studies that say it doesn't. There is no treatment to get you over a cold faster, only things to help alleviate the symptoms. Some people swear by their chiropractor when they have a cold, others accupuncture. I'm not saying none of them work, or any of them work. More that the list for how to beat the common cold is an exceptionally long one. Try googling it and see how many hits you get.
