4ofus Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I've been thinking of chicken & dumplings almost non-stop since yesterday. I have certain foods that I want when I have certain complaints. Cold = chicken & dumplings. I just had a big 'ole bowl & I think I'm on the mend already ;). What means 'feel better soon' to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 My grandfather's vegetable soup. Unfortunately he never wrote down the recipe, and no one in the 15 years he has been gone, has ever been able to replicate it. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoobie Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Cold = my grandmother's vegetable soup. Un-replicatable (not a word) though, sadly. Stress = cheese dip and cold Coke. And chocolate cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Homemade chicken soup with lots and lots of noodles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Anything from Diet For a Small Planet or The Farm cookbook. Yea, I know, my mom doesn't LOOK like a hippie. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Plov. I know it sounds weird, but it's my ultimate comfort food now and what I make if I've been sick, or for guests, or when I just need something easy that reminds me of another place.

Guest inoubliable Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 My Mawmaw's turkey rice soup. :( She's been gone far too long and no one has even come close to making it taste the way she did. I'll say that Mergath makes a kick-ass homemade chicken noodle soup. I had a sinus infection the beginning of June and she was kind enough to make a batch for us. It had peas in it! I'd never had peas in any soup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Just about anything my sister cooks. :) The talk about chicken soup has me smelling her homemade chicken noodle. MMMM and I also love her chicken paprika & spitzles (sp?). Last week I ate her spaghetti casserole about 4 days in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TammyinTN Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 When were under the weather everyone request my creamy potato soup with bacon and green onions. For being stressed out we like a delicious double chocolate cake with chocolate icing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4ofus Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 My kids always request hungry-jack-style mashed potatoes when they're feeling ill. I *never* make mashed potatoes of any kind -instant or otherwise- for our meals, but somehow when they were very small I discovered they were perfect for under-the-weather-littles who really wanted nothing. Years later, if they are sick enough to put themselves on bed rest or stop eating, they will always, always ask for Hungry Jack once they begin to mend. My mother craves eggs cooked just about any way. I love eggs, but I do NOT want them when I'm under the weather! Haha! Your replies are fun to read! Thanks for sharing!
