Congee / rice porridge. Cook rice way down until it's breaking apart. You can go simple/traditional by cooking it in water with a little ginger, or kick it up a notch by cooking it in chicken broth to add more flavor.
Oh yeah, rice with a little broth was a lifesaver the last time I was super sick. Drinking broth alone wasn't cutting it, but the rice was still gentle enough that it didn't make me want to die when I ate it.
And also adding pieces of chicken (cooked leftovers or raw, can even be bbq chicken) and eggs (any type, really). I use an Instant Pot on the porridge setting and use frozen chicken, bones or meat. Works a treat. Otherwise, I used to put everything on low overnight in a slow cooker to be ready when I wake up.
I've also used frozen fish, which is pretty good. It just falls apart in to flakes.
Top off with some spring onions, soy sauce, sesame oil before eating. All very delicious and easy to eat when you're sick af and have a bad sore throat.
This sounds simple and right up my alley!
