Default Mushy LC foods to eat while sick?

I have a cold and a very bad sore throat. It came on Friday and isn't much better. I've been struggling through and have managed to stay LC (maybe too LC), but I was just wondering what suggestions you all might have for mushy LC food. I've had the 1-minute muffin and the mock danish, but I'm looking for a little more variety, if possible.

Any suggestions will be most welcome.

Thanks!

Hi Debby,
I'm sorry you are sick....aacckk....a summer cold is the pits for sure.
When I have a sore throat, I don't worry to much about staying terribly LC...eat what sounds good just so you can keep your fluids up. I'm fond of tomato soup and cream of wheat when I'm sick.
However, a few things that might make the throat feel better....
~some LC ice cream or a LC ice cream float with diet cola or sprite
~Cauli mash with some melted cheese on top
~scrambbled eggs with melted cheese
~LC flour tortilla made into a breakfast burrito
~some hot cereal...LC like Maggie's cereal
~sf jello
~LC egg custard
~chicken soup....strain the broth from a can of Chicken noodle soup...pitch the noodles or let the kiddos have them

Get well soon!

HTH
S.

Shelley,

Thanks for the suggestions. Actually, nothing cold sounds good. I've been drinking a lot of hot herbal tea. The caulimash sounds good if I had the energy to make it. I did make some homemade LC chicken soup last night which really hit the spot.

I'm just really trying to stay LC since this is only my 6th day on induction. I don't want to ruin it for myself (mentally, most of all I think).

Hopefully I'll be feeling better soon.
