Reply #17: I dunno if you are veg or carnivores...

But just about any soup you make can be put in the blender and pureed. I've got an easy Veggie soup recipe that would give you guys a full meal and can still be pureed quite happily...

Boil one lb of stew meat in water and beef boullion. Brown the meat in the bottom of the pot first in a bit of olive oil then add the water and the bullion. (double strength stock is a good idea, so use twice the bullion that they suggest for the amount of water. Two tsp per cup of water... You will be adding enough stuff to cut the salt taste down a lot)

Low simmer the meat for a couple hours until it is soft.

Add a 12 oz can of tomato juice to the pot along with a can of diced tomatoes.

Add whatever veggies you like--potatos, carrots, corn, green beans, you name it. (I've been known to use a potato cubed up or a cup or rice if I didn't have a spud that was handy) and then add about half a bag of frozen mixed veggies along with some onion and celery.

Add garlic to taste, pepper, sugar if you like it...Italian spices can be nice too.

Simmer till the veggies are soft.

Eat up.

It reheats well, and it can be pureed quite handily...

Best of luck and I hope the dental issues are resolved soon!
