I have tonsillitis & am really freaking sick of soup. I need ideas for something soft, warm & mild that actually feels like a meal...

    1- Mash veggie, ie potato with avocado (one of my favourites) or with garlic and cheese or sweet potato, mash in your choice of veg with parsnip also nice and even try ,mash potato with a little horse radish.

    2- Home made humous to add to your mash veggies or home made pesto, Silken Tofu is easy to eat with bad throat just saute in soy sauce, garlic, sesame seed and ginger before heating it up in a pan.

    3- For afters try blending two frozen bananas with a little almond milk and peanut butter (add a couple of ice cubes when you blend it)

    Have some warm jello (just the boiled water, don't add the cold). Drink that. It's good. Not a meal, but good. And feel better soon :)

    Pasta. If tomato sauce bothers your throat, you can throw a teeny bit of butter on it. I had strep ALL the time as a kid, and pasta was what my mom would feed me because it's pretty easy to get down.

    I have strep right now. Couldn't stomach anything today except juice and a brownie (which I wouldn't recommend for several reasons), but I'm contemplating scrambled eggs for tomorrow.

    Scrambled eggs made with skimmed milk and no fat, add in some pepper or chilli flakes so it's not to bland, it's warm, soft and healthy.

    Going through strep right now. UGH it sucks, being a YouTuber and all. But I've been really careful to drink lots of water when eating.
