What's your "healing" food that you eat when sick?

[angelaartsstudent]

When I am sick with a cold or etc I used to make a variation of Pasta Carbonara with LOADS of Garlic - carbs, fat and garlic basically lol. This was in my pre-vegan time.

My healthier vegan version includes again, loads of onion and garlic (ie: an inhumane amount of garlic!), lots of broccoli (flower and stalk), nutritional yeast, greens (spinach/asian greens) and whatever other veg I feel like (which is usually not many when I am ill hehehe) in a carbonara-type vegan sauce.

So what's your 'Chicken Soup'? What do you make and eat when sick?

Mines real simple, not quite food...a cup of hot sweet tea always does wonders for me.

ginger biscuits and crackers to nibble on.
yogurt for the gut bacteria
cranberry juice with water
hot lemon and honey drinks
hmm, they're more snacks than meals, oops

Definitely sweet tea. Loads of it! I'm not the world's biggest eater and when I'm sick, I go right off food... tins of Campbell's Cream of Chicken soup with buttered toast (and a glass of Coke on the side!) is about all I can stomach when I'm unwell... hope you're feeling better soon hun! x

Yeah I am off food atm becuase it hurts too much to swallow LOL...even my cups of tea! Boo!

Anything with celery in it - cooked. I believe in the powers of celery.
Ditto for barley.
And pasta in broth. Comfort food.
