What do you cook when someone has a cold?

[AnyDream]

I always saute a batch of marinara seafood mix with loads of garlic, squeeze of lemon and add it into a huge can of ready made tomato soup, sprinkle on whatever fresh herbs I have. I crave this meal whenever I'm coming down with something (I think it must be the combo of zinc from the seafood and antioxidants from the tomato that does it). YUM!

Good Ol' Chicken Noodle and Vegetable Soup. My all time Fav! AND, I've not met anyone who hasn't had a cold cured by my soup yet!

Chicken Congee It's a fave here with the sickies, or Vietnamese Chicken & Rice Noodle Soup.

THanks Guys,

Well i have stuck to the fav this time, doing chicken and veg soup (with noodles) but will add a bit of chilli to see how that works in... MJ is the one with the cold, so i cant make it too spicy, but she does like spicy food.

Lol - pizza, that wont be happening, i know that it might make you fel better in some way, but isnt going to help

MD - marinara sounds great, might make it tomorrow.

Rouge what is chicken congee? will google it later, but i know that you are pretty good when it comes to food, so would prefer to b pointed to a recipe instead of trial and error!

Thanks guys
