I firmly believe that sick boyfriends need spicy Thai soup in order to feel better (and complain less). I mean, NyQuil usually does the trick too, but it certainly doesn't fill you up and make you happy quite like this pescatarian-friendly, delicious soup. it's perfect for sick people and/or cold nights in front of a fire. The original recipe called for Thai ingredients that I didn't have access to, so I modified things accordingly. Adapted from Eat, Live, Run: http://www.eatliverun.com/fire-pot-soup/

• 1/4 pound dry rice noodles
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled & deveined
