I hope you feel better soon! It's a good question. When I had a bug a drank diet ginger ale and went off plan with a pumpernickel bagel. I'd prefer not to do that next time.

I crave cream of mushroom soup when I'm sick, IDK why it's just the way it is and I allow the few extra carbs from that when sick. If I didn't crave that I would for sure do the egg drop soup!!! Bone broth too. I also found the lowest carb cough drops close to me was dollar general brand.... Also took Tylenol cold and flu.. Feel better soon!

Hmmm, good question. I haven't been ill in the eleven months since going LC and I need to think about this in advance. It used to be majestic mountain ranges of pasta with butter and Parmesan; obviously THAT won't work. I'm thinking some kind of cream soup but it would have to be homemade and "homemade" as rendered by my husband would undoubtedly send me to the ER. So probably just cream with chicken flavor courtesy of Better than Bouillon.

Hey, that doesn't sound bad right this minute and I feel fine.

Homemade chicken noodle soup, with "zoodles" instead of noodles! I've never been too sick to eat chicken. Here's what I'd make:

Chicken broth, like 6 bay leaves, water, carrots (not too many because carbs), celery, oregano, basil, salt, pepper and shredded chicken. Add more broth cubes if you want more chicken flavor. If you use fresh herbs it will make a big difference in flavor too. You can get the rotisserie chicken from costco for around $5 if you're in a hurry, or drop a few raw chicken legs in and let that cook with your veggies. When all the chickens shredded and the soups almost done, add in your zoodles.

Get well soon
