Chicken noodle soup is classic comfort food when feeling unwell. The warm liquid provides hydration whilst the small amount of chicken and noodles offer gentle protein and carbohydrates. Tinned versions mean zero preparation when energy is low.

😔 Low Appetite
Heat just half the tin (save rest for later). Sip broth slowly. Eat 2-3 spoonfuls of solids. Very gentle approach.
