Meal ideas that don't require chewing

And also have no 'bits'.

Need to think of some meal ideas for someone who has recently had 5 back molars removed. Smooth soup and weetabix are a winner. As is mash. Scrambled egg less so nor stews etc due to the bits of food becoming trapped. He's not overly fussy though a bit same-y. He can be prone to weight loss and loss of appetite so keen to keep him eating.

Is there anything obvious that I'm missing?

Thank you

I had an operation on my jaw and had to eat mush for a couple of weeks.
I started off on smoothies and mash, etc, but ended up blending proper meals as I wasn't getting enough protein... think mash potato blended with sausages and gravy 😅
It's a bit gross but it's not forever!

I enjoyed mash with spaghetti hoops after I had all my wisdom teeth out.
They just sort of slide down with no chewing.

Thank you again. There's likely to be a few more extractions over the next couple of months so it's great to have so many ideas.

Corned beef pie? Corned beef, top it with cheesy mash and add some gravy
