What do you like to eat when you have the common cold? Do you like meat, soup, vegetables, fruit, what is it? For me, it is chicken noodle soup. I just love it when I am sick. It may be all just in my head, but I actually feel better after I eat some soup, actually healthier.

I like drinking warm soups when I catch a cold. I like anything thats warm, actually. I also sleep a lot, thats what really makes me ok. I kind of feel tired when I catch a cold too, so sleeping really works wonders in multiple ways. Its mainly fluids for me, all warm.

I take water, decaffeinated tea, fruit juice or broth-based soups such as a steaming bowl of homemade chicken soup ,which is an old remedy that provide some relief. When I feel allitle better I add other relatively bland foods such as plain or lightly buttered toast. :)

Whenever i go sick or catch cold i want to eat bar-b-q spicy food, i never prefer soup or vegetables i will rather go for fruits and meat and even meat shouldnt be just boiled but rather cooked with spicy stuff.To getrid of cold i just need a pill ,pill in and cold out so not that worried matter at all.

Definately the soup. Home made vegetable soup with lots of pepper, because the taste buds can't really taste it so well. I even sometimes make a chilli noodle soup, but not with chicken. I think it is important to get plenty of vitamins to fight off the cold, so that is a good reason to have vegetable soup. :)
