What Is One Of Your Favorite Comfort Foods When You Are.....

Hope you're feeling better soon Pye! Chicken soup is a natural decongestant, at least that's what I've always been told. Maybe it's just inhaling the steam when it's hot...who knows? If you can find any, try ginger beer. It's non-alcoholic and sold in the soda aisle. It's just a very strong ginger ale, but very warming in the chest for bronchitis. Another thing to try is a mentholatum rub when you go to bed. In the really old days, the used to resort to mustard plasters, but we won't go there....
My favorite comfort food when not feeling well is Campbells Cream of Celery soup. With plenty of salteens. If it's a bad headcold that's ailing me, them my comfort food, of all things, is peanut butter. Hmmmmmm...I wonder what a daub of PB melted into the Cream of Celery would taste like...

Well Pye I am like you. Mine can be any kind of chicken soup, I love chix and rice, chix and stars you name it but I do usually end up with the chix noodle. It goes on sale alot here and my husband is always buying it so when im sick I usually have it in the house. It does work! Its not all in the mind, its a proven fact chix soup is very good for us when we are sick.

When I am sick I hardly eat I just can not stomach Food when I am not well
Then when I do get a bit Hungry it is just Yogurt I will eat

Must be the salt and fat... when I'm feeling greenish, I crave potato chips...
But if I'm really sick (not that often) all I can handle is tea and oranges.

king's congee in chowking..

but sometimes sweets especially chocolates make me feel lot better.. but not if i have tonsilitis.

I like lot's of green tea when I'm sick. I'm to lazy to cook so I want only instant no fuss foods.

If my mommy was close I would love her to make homemade noodle soup, but she lives in a different country, so I can't have her take care of me like when I was a kid.

I may make some powdered soup. We have some really good store brand onion, mushroom soups that come in a big canister. The mushroom is out of this world. They use high quality mushrooms and it's really good.

They are almost as good as home made. I will sometimes add a few more onions or mushrooms to them if I'm not super sick. Or if I'm really sick I will use the powdered chicken soup and add a handful of pasta. Gotta have my pasta

I'm rarely sick. Maybe it's all the garlic I eat. LOL

It could be my OCD on hand washing that keeps me healthy. It's likely that's why.

I ALWAYS, wash my hands first thing when I come home. I also won't eat foods touched by others if they didn't wash their hands first. I always wash or use sanitizer before I eat. I never touch any bodily orifices when I'm outside of he house. It's so easy to get sick just by rubbing your eyes if you have germs on your hands.

I like the Campbell's chicken and rice soup a lot but also like many other kinds of soup. When my youngest daughter was sick when younger and still to this day if she is not feeling good her miracle cure all is chicken pot pie.
I hope you get to feeling better real soon.

Hello Sweet

It really depends on what kind of sick I am

I don't tend to go toward food for comfort.

If I have a cold or flu I do like hot soup

I pop alot of vit c also.

Teas are nice when I'm tired, down, etc

cold or hot..I do drink more cold teas.

xoxoxoxoo

All Cambell soups domt taste like they used to so blahhhhhh on them.
I hit the bottle lol when have a cold or flu fix hot toddies!

Mine is macaroni noodles cooked till tender, drained, then I pour tomatoes over them. I puree the tomatoes, since they come cut in half. No extras in the tomatoes, like diced chili peppers or such. Just straight tomato juice with pulp. My grandpa made it for me when I got sick, so it's my thing even now.
