Soups are great main dishes of corse you can't eat soup for every meal. I make a lot of soups and different types of congee whenever my siblings are sick. My youngest sister hates plain congee so over time I've learned to add in flavors and foods that are still easy to keep down and eat. Of course it takes longer to cook when I add things but she'll eat it if I do. I don't ever add anything spicy or overly salty into the congees or soups whenever they're sick.
