Sometimes, simply breathing in the warm and fragrant steam from a comforting bowl of soup is enough to make you feel a little bit better. Hey, it couldn't hurt!\n01\nof 13\nGarlic Spinach Soup\nPhotographer: Carson Downing \/ Food Styling: Holly Dreesman \/ Prop Styling: Gabriel Greco\nIf you love ginger and garlic, you'll love this chicken soup.

I also added a tbsp each of fresh ginger and garlic, which I minced. Altogether it makes a very nutritious (and hopefully cold-fighting) soup, \" says rfairman. France C went a little further and added thinly sliced mushrooms to hers.\n03\nof 13\nCold-Busting Ginger Chicken Noodle Soup\nPhotographer: Carson Downing \/ Food Styling: Holly Dreesman \/ Prop Styling: Gabriel Greco\n\"This recipe rocks!

Give this soothing recipe a try. \"It’s very tasty and checked a few boxes.. first, it looked very appealing…it’s light and easy on the stomach and not too many steps,\" says StrongRoll2379.\n07\nof 13\nItalian Penicillin Soup\nDotdash Meredith Food Studios\nSometimes, the best remedy for a cold—or just a long day—is a steaming bowl of Italian Penicillin Soup, lovingly known as Sick Day Soup or Chicken Pastina Soup. Cooking the pastina directly in the broth thickens it just enough, while fresh herbs and a Parmesan rind elevate the flavor to something truly special.\n08\nof 13\nHealing Cabbage Soup\nDOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS \n\"I made this soup for its healing benefits, but I ended up loving it so much I'd make it anytime!

But I only had chicken broth and that sounded boring. I'd made egg drop soup before and thought that sounded perfect, so I started looking up recipes. Since I couldn't quite make any of the ones I found, I combined them to make this. It helped settle my stomach and was super easy to make.\"\n11\nof 13\nGreek Lemon Chicken Soup\nPhotography: Carson Downing \/ Food Styling: Holly Dreesman \/ Prop Styling: Gabriel Greco\n\"This soup hit the spot and is great when you have to feed a family who is suffering with colds,\" says NPINCEK.\n12\nof 13\nThe Best Thai Coconut Soup\nDotdash Meredith Food Studios\n\"More comforting than chicken soup with our current terrible head colds!\" —Queen Llemon\n13\nof 13\nJewish Chicken Soup\nPhotographer: Jen Causey \/ Food Styling:Margaret Monroe Dickey \/ Prop Styling: Josh Hoggle\n\"This is a traditional recipe good for anything that ails you. It's the absolute best when you've got the flu, and it's great the second and third day. Note, these matzoh balls are 'sinkers'. These are traditional matzoh balls, as this recipe was passed down from my great-grandmother who needed to make them as heavy as possible to feed a hungry family during lean times.

Sometimes, simply breathing in the warm and fragrant steam from a comforting bowl of soup is enough to make you feel a little bit better. Hey, it couldn't hurt\\!\n\n01 of 13\n\n## Garlic Spinach Soup\nPhotographer: Carson Downing \/ Food Styling: Holly Dreesman \/ Prop Styling: Gabriel Greco\n\nIf you love ginger and garlic, you'll love this chicken soup. To make it vegetarian or vegan, you can sub vegetable broth and use tofu instead of chicken. \"So good, so comforting, so easy.\" —ROCKES\n\n02 of 13\n\n## Miso Soup\nPhotographer: Carson Downing \/ Food Styling: Holly Dreesman \/ Prop Styling: Gabriel Greco\n\n\"I made this with kelp, which when cooked a bit becomes soft. I also added a tbsp each of fresh ginger and garlic, which I minced. Altogether it makes a very nutritious (and hopefully cold-fighting) soup, \" says rfairman.

Save as a collection on MyRecipes Credit: Grant Webster / Food Styling: Shannon Goforth / Prop Styling: Kristen Schooley When you're on the sick list, these soothing soups are easy to eat and can help fight congestion while keeping you nourished and hydrated. Sometimes, simply breathing in the warm and fragrant steam from a comforting bowl of soup is enough to make you feel a little bit better. Hey, it couldn't hurt\! 01 of 13 ## Garlic Spinach Soup Photographer: Carson Downing / Food Styling: Holly Dreesman / Prop Styling: Gabriel Greco If you love ginger and garlic, you'll love this chicken soup. To make it vegetarian or vegan, you can sub vegetable broth and use tofu instead of chicken. "So good, so comforting, so easy." —ROCKES 02 of 13 ## Miso Soup Photographer: Carson Downing / Food Styling: Holly Dreesman / Prop Styling: Gabriel Greco "I made this with kelp, which when cooked a bit becomes soft. I also added a tbsp each of fresh ginger and garlic, which I minced. Altogether it makes a very nutritious (and hopefully cold-fighting) soup, " says rfairman. France C went a little further and added thinly sliced mushrooms to hers. 03 of 13 ## Cold-Busting Ginger Chicken Noodle Soup Photographer: Carson Downing / Food Styling: Holly Dreesman / Prop Styling: Gabriel Greco "This recipe rocks! I've had the flu for a few days now and made this recipe earlier today. It is so good, and the ginger is great for the tummy problems." —christine 04 of 13 ## Hearty Chicken and Rice Soup Photographer: Jen Causey / Food Styling: Chelsea Zimmer / Prop Styling: Hannah Greenwood Try this gluten-free version of chicken soup made with rice instead of wheat noodles. "Quick and easy. Perfect for when everyone starts getting colds and the weather starts to turn yucky." —SusieHomemaker 05 of 13 ## Spicy Chicken Thai Soup Photographer: Jake Sternquist / Food Styling: Shannon Goforth / Prop Styling: Dera Burreson Chicken broth, coconut milk, ginger, garlic, chicken, mushrooms, and a few other good things come together in a quick 15-minute prep, and simmer for about an hour. "It is especially nice if you are feeling a bit under the weather," says Maxine 06 of 13 ## Easy Spinach Soup Recipe Photographer: Carson Downing / Food Styling: Holly Dreesman / Prop Styling: Gabriel Greco This simple spinach soup is light, comforting, and full of fresh flavor. Give this soothing recipe a try. "It’s very tasty and checked a few boxes.. first, it looked very appealing…it’s light and easy on the stomach and not too many steps," says StrongRoll2379. 07 of 13 ## Italian Penicillin Soup Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Sometimes, the best remedy for a cold—or just a long day—is a steaming bowl of Italian Penicillin Soup, lovingly known as Sick Day Soup or Chicken Pastina Soup. Cooking the pastina directly in the broth thickens it just enough, while fresh herbs and a Parmesan rind elevate the flavor to something truly special. 08 of 13 ## Healing Cabbage Soup DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS "I made this soup for its healing benefits, but I ended up loving it so much I'd make it anytime! It truly is 'healing' and not just for cold/flu season." —Heather 09 of 13 ## Restaurant Style Egg Drop Soup Photographer: Jake Sternquist / Food Styling: Shannon Goforth / Prop Styling: Dera Burreson This comforting egg drop soup takes just 20 minutes to make with chicken broth, ginger, chives, and silky ribbons of egg. "Tasted like I bought it from a fancy restaurant!" raves recipe reviewer kaityjrose. "Everyone loved it and was gone so fast! Now that I have the ingredients, I’m definitely going to make more and share." 10 of 13 ## Pick-Me-Up Egg Drop Soup Photography: Carson Downing / Food Styling: Holly Dreesman / Prop Styling: Gabriel Greco Recipe creator Clarissa Leigh says, "I was not feeling well one evening and wanted soup. But I only had chicken broth and that sounded boring. I'd made egg drop soup before and thought that sounded perfect, so I started looking up recipes. Since I couldn't quite make any of the ones I found, I combined them to make this. It helped settle my stomach and was super easy to make." 11 of 13 ## Greek Lemon Chicken Soup Photography: Carson Downing / Food Styling: Holly Dreesman / Prop Styling: Gabriel Greco "This soup hit the spot and is great when you have to feed a family who is suffering with colds," says NPINCEK. 12 of 13 ## The Best Thai Coconut Soup Dotdash Meredith Food Studios "More comforting than chicken soup with our current terrible head colds!" —Queen Llemon 13 of 13 ## Jewish Chicken Soup Photographer: Jen Causey / Food Styling:Margaret Monroe Dickey / Prop Styling: Josh Hoggle "This is a traditional recipe good for anything that ails you. It's the absolute best when you've got the flu, and it's great the second and third day. Note, these matzoh balls are 'sinkers'. These are traditional matzoh balls, as this recipe was passed down from my great-grandmother who needed to make them as heavy as possible to feed a hungry family during lean times. Cut the matzoh meal by ½ cup to lighten the load." —Layla Was this page helpful? Tell us why\! Most-Saved Recipes Like This
