Best soups for sickness

Lobster Bisque at Whole Foods. Dig for the lobster.

Someone I know was ill last week and had the chicken noodle from Langenstein's a few days later and said it was acceptable.

Depends on what your illness is. If your stomach is messed up, the acid in tomato soups might not be the best idea.

Copeland's might have a potato soup. Does the wife cook? I have very easy potato soup I make that can be made pretty bland or you can add to it whatever you like, ham, bacon etc...

I agree on the won ton or egg drop soups. I have those sometimes when I'm feeling puny. I have no Metairie suggestions, though.

You might want to change the two word title to a few more words before an admin anchors it.

Pho - extra jalapenos, siracha, and basil.

The broth is chock full of fat and nutrients from bone marrow, bones, and vegetables. The beef contains plenty of b vitamins and iron for an energy boost. The spiciness will clear your sinuses and stimulate your adrenaline.

Basil, sprouts, and jalapenos also have vitamins and minerals conducive to boosting your immune system.

Further, most Vietnamese restaurants have very good hot tea, which would be an excellent end to your meal and provide antioxidants.

Finally, I suggest finish with a big handful of fresh blueberries and some extra dark (think 60+%) chocolate. But don't eat too much chocolate too late as the caffeine could interrupt your sleep.

ALWAYS knocks out the oncoming colds for me.

Wonton soup from Kim Ahn's. It will cure cancer.

Chicken Pho or Chicken Noodle Soup.

I make a chicken congee with a ton of ginger in it.

Pho is magic.
