Greg...what a drag...how long do you have to stay on this regimen?

If you can stand something cold, smoothies are easy to swallow and nourishing. Bananas and other fruit for thickening, milk, yogurt (with addition of seltzer or ginger ale for a bit more zip) and a few ice cubes for extra chilling and thickness, if wanted. Blenderized, and depending on ingredients, there is nothing to say you cant aid a dollop of whiskey/vodka, etc. for a sophisticated evening meal. Think strawberry daiquiri...

Don't know what kind of soup you are whizzing up, but legume-based ones work best, IMO. Split pea, lentil, navy bean...

Also, a very palatable faux paté can be made by blenderizing some roast pork or beef with some relish and mayo...takes very little, if any, chewing, and altho traditionally served on crackers can also be eaten with a spoon. Just throw a little extra mayo in for less chewy texture. Ditto with egg salad. Usually a filling but can be made swallowable with a little extra mayo.
