What to eat when you have a cold

[jenk1]

we,ve all got colds.
no taste,smell etc.
kids arent interested in eating anything apart from sweets which i wont let them.
ive made toast,theyve turned their nose up at that.
dh suggested curry but they wont eat that, we will, we are having one for tea.

any suggestions to help my poorly and fed up kids eat?

What about a thick veg soup they can dip bread in. Not too much bother as you are ill yourself, just diced potatoes and whatever other veg you have with a tin of tomatoes and a stock cube (well watered down)?

avoid dairy as that makes you more snotty.
I like packet chicken noodle soup when ill
