Antibiotics?: If you have confirmed Strep throat, I presume you're on antibiotics. Eat whatever is comfortable/chew well, stay well hydrated, warm salt water gargles 4x/day will help and topical oral anesthetic spray as needed. Hope you're better soon.

No food restriction: There is no food restriction for a strep throat. The foods you mentioned sound like good choices. You should focus on fluids as with most illnesses and choose foods or liquids that make your throat feel good. I hope you are also taking antibiotics and that you will feel better soon.
