What do you cook when someone has a cold?

[Sammiejane]

So as the title suggests, i am after other peoples get well recipies.

I always cook a chicken and veg soup with plenty of herbs, garlic and lemon juice.

What does everyone else do?

Yep, chicken soup here too

Tom Yum soup is great as it opens all the mucus membranes and helps clear the head. You can make it yourself fairly easy but you have to like chilli because its basicaly a chilli soup.

You can buy the paste in the supermarket, boil up some broth (veg or chicken broth is best) add a tbls of paste and add boc choy, thick cut onion, bean srouts....and you can add a bit of calamari if you want some meat in there...even chicken strips if you prefer.

Its great for clearing blocked sinus's. Kids may not like it though.

for me its stewed tomatoes on toast hehe, my mum has made this for us as kids and I loved it, so now when ever I am not well thats what I have, my nana said it has good healing effects too becuase its full of vitamins etc

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!

I'm hoping someone can hook me up with a recipe or link to a thread with one pref one that you boil a whole chicken for, or one that cab be done in a SC.

I'm not as lazy as I sound, honest I'm just pressed for time and on iPhone
