These soups will cure whatever ails you!
When I’m under the weather, my appetite tends to vanish. (As a food blogger, I know I’m sick when I don’t want to eat!)
But I also know that I need to eat. I have to eat something! And that “something” is almost always soup.
When you’re feeling sick, soups are easy to eat, easy to digest, and they pack in a lot of good stuff in a convenient package. They’re also the coziest kind of meal. A big warm bowl of comfort!
I have a lot of soup recipes here on Well Plated (including plenty of Crockpot Soup Recipes!), but these are the ones that I turn to when I’m not feeling well. I hope you find them just as comforting as I do!
What Makes for a Feel-Good Soup
- Keep It Brothy. I’ve heard it’s actually an old wives’ tale that creamy soups make congestion worse, but personally, a thick, creamy soup is the last thing I want when I’m stuffed up. Brothy soups are lighter and easier to sip when you’re not at your best. All of the recipes below skip heavy cream in the base.
- Good-for-You Ingredients. When you’re not feeling great, simple, nourishing components like garlic, ginger, and nutrient-packed veggies go a long way.
- Protein. Not all of the recipes below are big on protein, because sometimes when you’re sick, you just want something light. But I’ve also included some meaty soups because fueling your body with protein can support recovery.
- Meal Preppable. Because when you’re not feeling well, cooking once and eating twice (or three times) is totally a win.
