Default Suggestions please - something for an ill wife to eat

My wife has a slight "comes-and-goes" temperature, and occasional mild
bouts of the runs, together with a faintly queasy stomach. It's getting
better, but she still isn't right.

The "classic" thing for this is chicken soup, but all the chicken soups
I can buy in the supermarkets are "cream of" types, with far more dairy
than chicken, except for Campbell's 99% Fat Free, which tasted, in her
words, "like tepid dishwater," and I agree.

Baxter's Luxury Beef Consommé is a bit strong for her, she says, and a
batch of mashed potatoes "sat like a lump" in her stomach.

Bananas made her feel more queasy, and even a simple glass of orange
juice (good quality, no less) leaves her feeling full after a few sips.

Any suggestions for something easy-to-prepare (preferably at the
heat-and-eat level) that wouldn't be too hard on a queasy stomach like
this?

Thanks in advance,
