But, I hate chicken+soup=chicken soup I like soup too and i like chicken too...
here we don't even eat much chicken

I love chicken soup

Finally! I got another partner!

@Valky: You don't like c.soup, mom?

I don't really like chicken soup that much, but I like veggie soup. Roasted Red Pepper Soup is one of my faves.

I don't eat a lot when I'm sick. I just lie around and think, "I should eat something, but I'm lazy." and then I don't eat. When I'm sick and I do eat, though, I tend to eat eggs- they're easy on the throat and they're warm.

Chicken soup is good for health and everything but i just don't Or i can say i just can't stand it's smell!

Oh, wait. You're eating them right now...well, they do smell good to my nose.

Sorry I'm not eating chicken soup rite now ! I'm not an idiot to eat chicken soup when my mom is making me my fave. dishes yum!

I love chicken soup! ^^ Eat/Drink it at least once a week.

Gosh Mei EVen u ? I'm sick rite now and i daren't eat chicken soup its sooooooooo untasty!

@Mei: Partner! I hope mom makes them for me XD

I think I used to eat gruel when I'm sick. XD That was when I was younger though. Nowadays whenever I feel the colds I just pop in the medicine and sleep it away.

Hmm...instead of chicken soup...I eat chinese noodles sometimes...you know, the soft one--can't name them in English.

Ramen? Rice noodles?

When anyone is sick around me, I make homemade chicken noodle soup in bread bowls. I don't know if it really cures anything but everyone seems happy when they eat it.

I usually don’t eat anything when I’m sick, afraid it might not digest and end result is it coming out the wrong way.

I find it sprising this thread gets so many posts XD

Heh, I mean this thread is a really god one to discuss XD

well I just tried it because i'm sick, didn't really help :p

I was surprised this thread gets so many posts too, lol. Even so, I can't help but spot a few irrelevant posts *sigh*
@ yannes - I guess it just provides a sort of comfort to your throat and to your senses, especially if the soup is hot/warm and if you're suffering from a nose block/cold/cold coupled with headache and so on. There are other uses too.

For example, I recently had a very bad case of tonsilitis overnight and my throat was completely choked. I couldn't talk or swallow anything solid for 3 to 4 days. I got a bit worse because my dad was away on business and I didn't know of any good doctors I could visit. So all I could eat for two days was soup(not even thick soup, very light). And quite amazingly, my throat felt better because of the warmth. Anyways, I'm glad I'm past that x.x! Different people have different needs though.
