What's your Family magic recipe that cure EVERYTHING. you know, the panacea that you/your family trot out when someone's feeling under the weather. Like Chicken Soup, macaroni and cheese, garlic or Irn Bru. Sybil Vimes nee Ramkin had a "Jolly nourishing" monstrous fry up. Husband's lot had Findus Crispy pancakes and chips with beans.
Ours is Chicken One Pot (everyone) or the Chinese chicken soup (adults only).
Chicken One Pot has onions, garlic, peppers, mushrooms and chicken, maybe smoked gammon or bacon in a nice home made stock based white sauce with a heap of buttery mashed potatoes or rice. Maybe some crusty bread or crusty garlic bread if you you don't have a sore throat. Hearty warming and nourishing.
Chinese chicken soup has loads of vitamin C and chillies to burn a cold out. It is has chicken, noodles, spinach/cabbage/leafy greens, carrots and mushrooms in home made stock with soy, honey, 5 spice (improvise here) and excessive amounts of ginger, garlic and fresh chillies. Father In Law says it worked, but no more, once it cleared his nose it burned excessively.
