If laughter is the best medicine, then chuckling with a mouthful of soup is an unstoppable recipe for relief—plus it really does help treat bugs. Send a bowl to an under-the-weather son at a faraway college, a family member who needs some cheering up, or grandma that thrives off competition. The most popular Just Soup package ($29.50) includes a half-gallon (four to six servings) of the savory elixir with the option to add noodles or matzo balls and a personalized message. You can also incorporate a huggable teddy bear ($18) or edible banana-walnut cake ($15.50) among many other add-ons. The soup is MSG free and is a homemade mix of grade-A chicken, fresh carrots, celery, and onion simmered for hours until Grandma approves. Aside from the tasty soup, a lengthy list of other care-package possibilities is available.
