comfort soup
Comfort food is food that is good for the soul, good for the body and good for the mind. Comfort food is food that picks you up when you're feeling down, reminds you of good times, and often brings back memories of food that you enjoyed as a child.

Comfort Soup
I confess. I am a "feelings" junkie. I live in a thick bubbling soup of feelings. I am not so much a thinker but a feeler. This rich stew of feelings is like a pot of winter evening soup, roiling and boiling.

Engelsuppe
Die "Kraft" der Suppe rührt - wenn man denn dem obigen Buch Glauben schenken darf - daher, dass bei der Zubereitung Engel bzw. engelhafte Gedanken mitwirken.

puts the emphasis on "Angels" just as the German version does (see Johanna's link); mean to say it's not about soup for the body but for body and especially soul.
