Soup When You're Sick

Nothing really does the trick
Like soup when you are feeling sick.
Honeyed tea may soothe the throat
But soup will always get my vote.

Steaming hot within its bowl,
Warmth and comfort it can dole.
Noodles, alphabets or rice
Help to make it extra nice.

Cut-up carrots add some pop
Softly floating to the top,
Swimming with some tasty greens
And, perhaps, a bunch of beans.

If the sniffles get you down,
Form a smile from your frown.
Spirits never seem to droop
When they’ve been fed a bowl of soup!
