Gimme some good foods to enjoy with a flu, or a hurting throat.
I ate some finnish Peasoup yesterday, wondering what I should make for the rest of the week.
I know chicken broth is THE flu food, but wondering if there's any foods that feel good to eat when you have a flu. Non-soups would be appreciated.

Sorbets are nice and soothe sore throats. An old-timey remedy for a cough and/or stuffy nose is a shot of moonshine or vodka with lemon juice, honey, and cayenne pepper mixed in.
I cut up some slices of ginger and boil it in a pot for a little while, then turn off the heat and add some lemon slices/juice and honey.
I also recommend masala chai, but if you get phlegm-y either have no milk or drink it with soy.
Broth soups are best though. have good toasted bread.
You got the shits too? There's some splatter in your poosoup.
I'm assuming you mean the brown-ish stuff, well that's mustard.
black tea with lemon and honey
Jewish penicillin
Zinc lozenges at the first sign of infection. Seriously, they actually work.
My go-to is rice congee. I usually boil the rice with a slice of ginger and serve it with shredded chicken, fish sauce to taste, and cilanto and green onions . If no chicken, then dried pork (the kind sold at Asian grocery stores).
