What heals you?

My boyfriend is home sick with strep throat today, so I thought I'd make him a hot, nutritious dinner tonight. Most people would go with chicken soup, but I don't eat meat. I haven't found another healing comfort food. Perhaps just a veggie broth-based soup?
On "Sex and the City," Samantha wanted her mom's slushies made from cough syrup and Orange Fanta. Doesn't seem like a good idea.
This guy says drink red wine... tempting, but I'm guessing that won't go well with the antibiotics. I know garlic is good for you when you're sick, so maybe pasta aglia olio?
I'm tired, so maybe I'll -- gasp -- get him some take-out soup! (Likely not!)
What do you eat when you're not feeling so hot?
