  If I,m not hungry or have a sore throat then its always been heinz chicken soup, my Mum always gave me that when I was a child. Otherwise its stodgy food like bangers & mash, cottage pie or sausage casserole and mash.

  I love mashed potato, or fish & chips when I'm feeling a wee bit crap. Always does the trick

  snap with the heinz chicken soup. Must be a mum thing when we were all poorly as kids.
  
  You do need a couple of slices of white bread to help make you feel better as well. (either to float in the soup or just to dunk)

  Something hot but light, that takes little effort to make. Tinned soup or pasta usually, or even just a couple of slices of buttered toast.
  
  Get well soon, OP.

  I'd suggest a tasty (but not too hot) curry with rice.

  I always thought the chicken soup was an old wives' tale, but it really isn't. I find that homemade chicken and veg soup provides immediate relief when ill, for about an hour or so. OP, try and get someone to make you some and bring it to you?
  
  Other than that, now is the time for junk food, eat anything to get your strength up. I normally have someone looking after me when ill, so I send them to McD's, Greggs, etc. I also order Chinese food.

  When I'm feeling under the weather I like bacon sarnies with a hot sweet mug of tea, cheese on toast, Heinz beans and sausages on toast, rice pudding with strawberry or blackcurrant jam, porridge with syrup, and my favourite, dunking toast (Warburtons Crusty) into a mug of milky coffee.
  
  If I have a cold Paloma 4 ply pocket tissues from Home Bargains are great 'cause they're really soft (and strong).
  
  Hope you feel better soon.

  Scrambled egg on toast and/or soup. A banana between meals and lots of water.

  Another vote for the heinz chicken soup. It goes hand in hand with a cold.

  For me it has to be Heinz tomato soup with Dairylea sandwiches on white bread.
