Why does almost every culture use chicken soup to recover from an illness? Is there something special about it?

It’s bland, easy on the stomach, and has enough sodium/hydration to replenish what you’re losing in snot/sweat/puke.

In Indian culture when you are sick you almost always avoid meat till you get better.

Not in every part of India. In my home state mildly spiced chicken curry/broth & rice/toast is a very common food for patients.
