What Is One Of Your Favorite Comfort Foods When You Are..... email this discussion to a friend?

.......Sick? Feeling like do-do ca-ca poo-poo? For about a week now I just haven't been feeling too keen...uh, to put it mildly. I've been having one of my bouts of bronchitis again...not too severe but still making me feel lousy. My energy level has been zip, can't think, having serious brain fog. As soon as I started feeling lousy and getting that twinge of bronchitis I started taking a bit more of that herb Echinacea, more Vit-C and dosing myself with garlic pills since garlic is a natural antibiotic. I still haven't gone to my docs since I have to practically be at death's door before going to one....LOL....also have that same attitude my great-grandmother had who was a nurse and thought all docs as idiots, never took anything stronger than aspirin in her life, was into natural remedies and lived to be 98

But I have noticed something when I'm sick....now yes, I'm a good cook, love cooking and can make a lot of great homemade soups...and do while I'm sick...but what do I long for and eat a lot of while sick? My favorite comfort food..what is it you ask? Good old Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup---I could eat this by the gallon ...Yes, it's a "processed" canned food, loaded with salt, salt, salt, and yes it has MSG (mono sodium glutamate)..but I love it...this is definitely my comfort food when I'm sick...perhaps memories of my childhood as that's what I would have when I was sick as a kid.

So when you're sick...what is YOUR comfort food? Even if it's something that may not exactly be the healthiest for you like a processed food rather than a homemade one. Do you turn to good old Campbell's soup too? Doesn't have to be the Chicken Noodle kind either, but do you?

Just what is it about that Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup anyway? Mmmm...mmm...good...mmmm..mmmm...goodlol

I don't trust doctors so I wouldn't go to one unless I am sure I am to die. When I am sick, I have not appetite.when I have a cold, the first thing that happens is my throat gets real sore. So the best thing to have is soup.I remember having Chunky soup, chicken noodle.But most of the time I don't eat, I just sip soda.

I'm not real big on doctors either...but still have this "bug" in me and now wondering if I really need to go to my doc to at least get some antibiotics to zap it... sad

I love to drink soup when i am sickthumbup.It really makes me strong.If i don't have a cold then i try to drink fruit juices.If i have a cold.I take vitamin c tablets.I also drink a lot of water.Having pepper in tea or honey revives a sore throat. happyhappy

cream of chicken with garlic,onion and some red pepper added.
something about those three spices always makes me feel better.
of course with a sore throat,i'd skip the pepper.maybe add a bit of basil instead.

My comfort food when I'm sick is Chicken noodle with loads of veggies..homemade at that! I gotta make it myself from scratch or just doesn't make me feel good.

hi there,
I been sick many a times in life and i dont like being sick... This is going to sound weird, but when I feel sick, I alwayws want fried potatoes and fried chicken. Seeing as this is not healthy, I haven't had that in years. But boy do I want it when I'm sick. I really wish I had healthy cravings. Although usually, if I have had the throw up kind of flu, I always want oranges.

 
97. myLot reputation of 80/100. crystallight1l (260)   ranked 8,526 out of 38,156 in life   2 months ago

I always love a cup of hot chocolate (but not in the summer;) ). Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup is my second option. It's very tasty with enough salt to cure us from viruses, and warming our body, providing a soothing feeling.

Oh, your a good cook.

It's always difficult to cook our own food when we're sick. The healthy choice of food will be garlic soup, but I dislike it.

Although it strengthens our immune system but the smell repels us and the taste tempts us to regurgitate.

I've heard that eating oranges are very useful for recovering from colds and flu,

but some people's sickness have become worse after

eating oranges.

I'm not sure why, does anyone know?

hi pyewacket when I get that sick all I want is good old hot tomato soup,Campbells of course,with a grilled cheese sandwich, a really hot gooey one,thats all I want, and bed of course. also if I donthave tomato chicken noodle will do just fine too. and good hot coffee black nothing added. and lots of water. gotta be hydrated of course.with bronchitis I seemed to have drank a gallon of cold water every day as Ihad such a sore throat, went to the doctor finally he put me on antibiotics as I had a strept throat.ice water was the only thing that killed the pain. i do not trust too many doctors but I do trust my doctor he is the best.

Hi there pyewacket!

There are a lot of food I crave for when I am sick. Yeah, they say that one actually loses his/her appetite when he/she is sick. Not me. For some reasons, there are so many food that I crave for. But my number one comfort food is Chicken Macaroni soup. My dad cooks the best Chicken Macaroni soup. I wish I could just pretend I am sick everyday so I could have Chicken Macaroni soup the whole day. wink
