Any help with ideas - post surgery recipes, run out of ideas.

I'm stuck!

I'm off to look after my mum who will be recovering from surgery for bowel cancer & subsequent therapies. She is feeling sick and hungry both.
Quite fragile but was such a food lover some nice meals will really help her mood.

When she can't eat or can't face it I've made fruit juice, cucumber juice and lemonade ice chips. I am trying to find tempting clear broths, consomme etc.
She has to be low residue & apparently clear fluids for a while beforehand.
I tried a recipe and it was just...brown.
Ideally I'd like a mix of flavours but my trial run was disappointing!
If anyone has any ideas for recipes or anything else that might be tempting & tasty I would be so grateful.
Complexity and faffing no issue.
I've completely run out of brain power though & am being dithery Confused Hmm

TIA

Goodness thats tricky, clear and plain but interesting food. Not really that surprised you have run out of ideas. Only things I can think of are:

Chicken and sweetcorn soup - buy it from any supermarket or Chinese takeaway.
Homemade chicken broth/ stock (chicken, carrots, celery, onion, bouquet garni, peppercorns, salt) with a variety of herbs passed through a sieve.
Obviously you could do this with any meat or fish really.

Don't know whether this link will work

Frozen white grapes are nice
White grape juice?
Tom yum soup is good but you would have to tone spices down maybe but quite flavourful

Thank you!
Just the start I needed - was completely blank.

Very grateful for the links & grape juice suggestion!
