Foods that Comfort the Sick

When Joanne Chang of Flour Bakery and Myers + Chang is feeling under the weather, she likes to hunker down under the covers with a big bowl of hot soup. In fact, many of our beloved chef partners name "soup" as their ultimate comfort food of choice when sick.

Now, imagine that you are living with a debilitating illness like cancer, diabetes, or HIV/AIDS, and you are unable to shop or cook for yourself or your family. That's when Community Servings steps in.

Winter Squash Soup

This soup embodies autumn with its classic fall ingredients. Nutty squash and tart apples are roasted in the oven until soft and caramelized, and then pureed into a golden-hued, full-flavored soup. It's rich, creamy, and satisfying without being heavy.
