I have been down with the sniffles for the past two days (see, month of May is really jinx!), no thanks to the girl who brought back the woeful virus from school and spread it to everyone!
Yesterday I felt so bushed and lackluster that I popped 6 caps of Super Lutein (double my usual dosage) and voila, today I am feeling so much better! Nose not runny and no more sneezing anymore and I could even brisk-walk 5 laps and walked up the stairs to the 5th floor of my unit this morning!
So whatâs the best food for someone who is down with a flu?
For dinner yesterday, I was craving for something soupy so I made a big pot of prawn and anchovies soup with a whole head of organic cabbage, tomatoes, fish balls (bought from our day trip to Sekinchan on Sunday) and tofu fish cake, to go with meehoon.  Yes, another 1-pot dish!
The soup is cooked by lightly frying the prawn heads (I used 8 big prawn heads), chopped garlic and 2 handfuls of anchovies with a little oil and let to simmer for an hour.  The aroma of the soup can send you to food heaven, literally!
Tip: For busy mothers, you can prepare a large pot of soup and store them in separate containers in the freezer for future use. Â The soup can be used for noodles or you can just add veggies and meat into the soup to make it a one-pot dish on busy nights.
