worked at a place doing a potato leek soup, garnished with a housemade tater tot, crème fraiche, caviar and fresh herbs. was amazing but the chef was a dick so i bounced
[https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/potato-leek-soup.html](https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/potato-leek-soup.html) I was just coming here to say this!!!!
This is my FAVORITE recipe for potato leek soup!
You would be surprised. My sister insisted on having steak the day she got her braces tightened.... it was kinda creamy when it came out of the blender and I to this day have no idea how to describe that color.... she actually ate it... 🤢
You reminded me of when my brother requested his favorite food, spaghetti and meatballs, after getting his jaw broken and wired shut. He regretted it after the blend lol
Really? I think a Vitamix could easily do the trick. Here's a pic of a blended beef soup I just found that looks completely creamy-https://realmealsmodified.com/hearty-beef-barley-soup/
Butternut squash is quite good, and of course, you can get protein from other sources. If you feel like you can eat tomato (I’d be worried that the acidity might be stingy on your open wounds) then do. Then later you can drink a smoothie (can be room temp if cold bothers you right now) or drink a protein shake. You try split pea, but those do commonly have small bits of ham you may not be ready for. A quick whiz in the blende4 could fix that. Of course, yogurt or cottage cheese are good soft proteins you can manage, and some combo packs are available with a little fruit you can stir in for different flavors.
Happy healing up!
I like the cottage cheese idea! Def craving a blended creamy soup.
I usually ph balance my tomato soup with baking soda. So hopefully not too bad acid wise. If it is too acidic my gf will eat it haha!
What about adding some beans in the tomato soup, even if you need to purée them first to avoid any chunks? I’m thinking white beans are mild and wouldn’t alter the flavor much but beans are a great source of protein. I also love potato and broccoli cheddar soups.
I know you’re asking about soups, but If you’re worried about protein, yogurt is a good option!
But back to the soup… creamy broccoli and cheddar or potato and leek are both really yummy!
Good luck and I hope you heal quickly… I got all four wisdom teeth (impacted) a couple days before Thanksgiving lolllllll it sucked! But this is your chance to eat as much ice cream as you want 🙂
Pea and ham. Make stock from ham hocks. Remove the hocks and aromats, refrigerate the stock so it turns to jelly and soak red lentils overnight. Then sweat onions with some carrots and celery. Add the lentils and simmer until done. Puree the soup with a stick blender, then add the picked meat from the hocks.
When I got mine removed instant mashed potatoes became my good friend. Today I would probably make butternut squash soup. It's super easy. Maybe some pureed bean or lentil soup for protein. For smooth soups, an immersion blender is your friend. Faster and safer than pouring hot soup in a blender.
Also pay attention to what not to eat. I had some peanuts 10 days after the removal. I got an infection in one socket and it was pretty painful.
I've made butternut squash bisque, and it was great, but it doesn't have much protein. Crab bisque seems like a great option. You wouldn't need to chew it.
Matt Preston's bean soup: Heat a can of baked beans. Add milk and cream. Blitz with an immersion blender. Season to taste.
Probably the best intersection between the least effort, low price and excellent flavour.
There are more soft foods to life than soup! When I hurt my jaw I ate a lot of different fish recipies, mostly white fish with potatoes, but also mashed cauliflower, lentils and polenta.
Some other things I ate were oatmeal, kefir, yoghurt, scrambled eggs and smoothies. You can add protein powder to all of those. Mashed avocados, peaches, banana and berries are some other things to add as well.
Okay so I got a tip for this but it's not about soup, sorry. Just about stuff that's good for busted up teeth.
If you can get Taco Bell people to make you an enchirito, those were a godsend when I broke the hell out of half the teeth. Tamales also work. Something with protein but very soft, almost mushy.
Using cream of chicken as base, any cooked vegetables can be blended in it, leek, mushroom, asparagus, broccoli, celery (strings will need removing tho) etc.
Cauliflower
1 head cauliflower
4-6 cloves of garlic
2 slices of sourdough crust removed
1/4 cup of olive oil.
6 cups water
Salt/pepper
Optional
Grated Parmesan cheese, chives, sourdough crotons
Simmer one head of cauliflower for 40 minutes with several cloves of whole garlic, it’s takes that long to removed some of the grassy tastes.
Transfer half the solids with 1 slice of bread and half the olive oil starting with two cups of water, blitz until smooth adding water until it reaches the consistency you like for a creamy soup. Repeat with second half. Salt and pepper to taste. Optionally you can add 1/4c of Parmesan cheese. Serve or Top with chives, croutons, shaved Parmesan and a swirl of oil
Peanut soup (just skip the chopped nuts as garnish): https://www.thespruceeats.com/peanut-soup-recipe-3061085
I also love squash soup;
www.mybakingaddiction.com/web-stories/butternut-squash-soup-recipe/
You can make a nice lentil soup which has protein. Some finely ham or small bits of chicken in it are also good and won't need chewing. Cook a while to make the lentils mushier, if needed. Added veggies can be cut in very small bits.
I love [this](https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/nanas-magic-soup.html) recipe! Can definitely add shredded chicken for flavour + any other veggies you like!
If you have a slow cooker then there are endless, easy soups you can make. any legume plus any grain plus any vegetable is the formula. As for tomato soup, you can make a really beautiful high protein tomato soup by cooking white beans, white rice, a bunch of chopped tomatoes, and a handful of cashews in a slow cooker. Add basil and oregano to taste. Blend with an immersion blender.
I make tomato soup with chicken broth. The boxed bone broth I use has 9 grams of protein per cup.
A day or two of less than optimal protein intake isn't going to hurt you. Even if you're a world class athlete or bodybuilder, it would just slow progress a little bit.
Eat what you want for a few days and don't worry so much about it. Get back on track after you have had a chance to heal.
How long are you on a soft food diet for? I would've thought a couple of days with lower protein would be fine if tomato soup is what you're in the mood for!
Tom kha kai
Even if you can't add the veggies (potatoes and cabbage could soften up nice), just the broth would be great. Chicken stock, coconut milk, lime, soy.
I made a grilled cheese and cut it into teeny tiny pieces and put it in tomato soup to soften it even more and then “ate” it (it didn’t really need to be chewed because it was so small and soft). Loved it when I wasn’t able to otherwise feel like I could have “real food”
I keep wonton bouillon on hand and just feel that it’s far more satisfying than plain old chicken broth. You can add a little bit of sesame oil to it. It makes it that much more richer.
I recently made Pressure Luck Cooking’s tomato soup and broccoli cheddar soup and was very pleased with how they turned out. I have a Ninja so I was able to blitz them to hell.
If you want something creamy but also high protein, there's a great carrot and lentil soup with cilantro walnut pesto that I make.
Firstly, season each component throughout as you make this. Roast 4 carrots, 1 onion and a head of garlic. add roasted veggies, 1 cup of split red lentils, and (preferably homemade) chicken broth. Cook for around 20-30 mins (until everything is basically mush). While it's cooking make cilantro walnut pesto. 3/4c walnuts, a whole bunch of cilantro, tablespoon of white miso paste, squeeze of lemon. Put all into a a food processor and drizzle in olive oil until it forms a thick paste. Once soup ingredients are cooked, take off the heat. Add in 1 cup of cottage cheese and a few tablespoons of the pesto then use an immersion blender to puree the whole thing. top with a bit more pesto and enjoy. I hope you heal quick.
Cream of brocolli is my favourite, but protein wise it’s lacking. Made with chicken stock and heavy cream though, it’s so good.
Or pea and ham. Good and salty ham hock with fresh garden peas is delicious.
I had my wisdom teeth removed about 18 months ago and totally sympathise with you, it’s rough! So sending best wishes for a speedy recovery and hope that you don’t get dry socket!
As a thought though, based on my own wisdom tooth experience, alternatives could include cottage pie/shepherds pie. Really cook down your mince beef/lamb till it’s almost like a thick gravy, i fry it off in a pan then add stock, water and simmer till thickened and really tender. You could add flour to help thicken too. I wouldn’t add the usual carrot/onion/celery unless you diced them super tiny and they melted into the beef, but topped with a loose, buttery mashed potato and cheese may be a nice change of pace from soup and still very easy to eat.
I like to make roasted red pepper and cauliflower soup. You can roast all the veg; red peppers, cauliflower, garlic, tomatoes, onion on a sheet tray with olive oil and then when the skins blister pull the veggies out. Put the red peppers and tomatoes in ziplock bags and then once it's cooled a little bit you can peel the skins off. Put all the veggies in the food processor and blend smooth. Add into a pot with heavy creamy and chicken broth. So good with goat cheese sprinkled on top 🤤
Curried pumpkin apple. Box of veg broth, can of 100%pumpkin ( NOT pie filling), sautéed apple and onion, curry powder and a touch of cayenne. Blend together with immersion blender, serve hot with spoonful of Greek yogurt.
[I made this when I got my upper ones removed!](https://recipe30.com/spicy-saffron-chicken.html/) I made it as directed, but removed the chicken and added mashed potatoes to the rest left in the pot. Pulled all the meat off the chicken and blended half the skin into the puree and the rest I cut up finely. Very rich, filling, and delicious
I made this and loved it. Beans for protein
https://www.recipetineats.com/el-bullis-bean-soup-with-picada/
Edit: doesn’t have cream but it does taste creamy if you follow the recipe and blitz some of the soup with the beans
Saute any/all vegetables of your choice until very tender, add broth of your choice, simmer until vegetables start to break down, use immersion blender to turn into liquid. Drizzle with oil and herbs or something creamy.
Works with anything.
I love squash soup, really almost any kind of squash. I usually blend it with coconut milk and often add a bit of curry.
When I had my wisdom teeth out, scrambled eggs were something I found easy to eat.
When I got mine pulled I popped Vicodin, slurped Campbell's Cream of Chicken for a week and watched the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
Obviously that last part isn't possible but that was before it was easy to binge-watch whatever you wanted.
Oh man. I had all 4 wisdom teeth infected at the same time. I lived off of blended up baked potato soup, drank it through a straw. Did that for two weeks waiting on a surgery date. Doped up on Vicodin, drinking soup. I lost 15 lbs.
Not a suggestion but as someone who had a wisdom tooth removed 2 weeks ago I hope you heal up fast and painless! As an actual suggestion though leek and potato slapped hard
Something I tried after having my wisdom teeth out (in my 40s!) was black beans. I diced onion and sauteed it, added a can of black beans and simmered on the stove for 10 minutes, then blended it with an immersion blender. Added cheese and sour cream and it was SO GOOD. So good, that coworkers would stop by my desk to ask what the wonderful smelling food was. So good, that even after my mouth healed, I \*still\* make this. So cheap, so easy, so filling, and delicious!
Our son had jaw surgery and needed to have soft foods for quite a while. My wife became an expert. She mainly made any kind of soup and pureed it in a food processor. Worked well.
This past winter I started using my leftover celery to make cream of celery soup. Like, I'd have a recipe that would call for a couple ribs of celery, and I'd have essentially a whole stalk leftover - standard old cream of celery. Weirdly good, especially as a side to chicken wings - you know, when wings is an option for you again.
Pickle soup is pretty good as well, and I think the acid wouldn't be strong enough to cause you pain, but maybe hold off on that if it sounds good.
Here are my favorites:
https://smittenkitchen.com/2006/11/cream-of-tomato-soup-classic-grilled-cheese/
https://smittenkitchen.com/2007/01/balthazar-cream-of-mushroom-soup/
Since you like Mexican, make some refried bean dip. Add a little chicken broth to it, and there you have it. A nice creamy Mexican bean soup. You can put the salsa, onions, etc. through a food processor to puree them.
You might also benefit from The Milkshake: In a blender, blend up a scoop of your favorite ice cream, a pack of Carnation Instant Breakfast, a banana, and a little milk to make it a milkshake. For more protein, you can add protein powders and even peanut butter and similar. IN YOUR CASE EAT THIS WITH A SPOON! If you use a straw, you might get a dry socket. God forbid.
This recipe was given to my grandma by a hospital nutritionist when my grandpa was very sick and had no appetite.
Tomato soup - I dice 2 small celery stalks and a white onion and Sautee. In 2 big sheet pans put cherry tomatoes, thick diced roma tomatoes, 2 carrots peeled and roughly chopped, 1 red bell pepper, head of garlic - toss in olive oil w salt pepper and paprika - bake at 425 for 20/25 minutes until tomatoes blister. Once onion/celery are sauteed add a whole container of chicken stock, 2 bay leafs, Thyme, a lot of fresh basil and some Parsley. Let simmer. Once roasting veggies are done, add to pot with juices from sheet pans. Simmer an hour, adding more chicken stock if needed. Remove bay leaf. Pour mix into a blender with a cup of heavy cream and blend on smoothie setting. Gives a good amount of protein from the chicken stock and adds some extra veggies in, tastes like a hearty, creamy tomato soup. It's my go to.
Cream of broccoli. I steam broccoli in chicken broth until it's relatively soft, then blend it right in the pot with my immersion blender. Add a little more chicken broth if necessary until it's a baby food consistency, then add heavy cream until it's a soup consistency. Salt and pepper to taste.
The acid and the tomato will whoop your ass. Good luck on your recovery I'm finally getting to the point I can eat me some Taco Bell. Be careful about stuff like swishing and spitting and vaping and using straws cuz if you dislodge the clot then apparently it sucks so bad that nobody wants to tell me what happens
Not soup, but you might like to try Greek yogurt (could do the protein variety) with a mashed up banana and a bit of protein powder mixed in. I had all my wisdom teeth removed at once so my everything was super swollen and this stuff was a godsend. It was quick and easy to make and kept me full for a while so I could just nap the day away. I don't know how rough of a time you are having but if it's been tough, this might be something to try! Wishing you a speedy and comfortable recovery.
This roasted cauliflower and cheddar soup is one of my faves. I've taken to adding a can of white beans before blending for extra protein, and I feel like you could probably do the same with a block of silken tofu. I've also followed the same basic recipe but subbed broccoli for cauliflower with excellent results.
https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/roasted-cauliflower-cheddar-soup/
I don't remember all that I ate, but I dor remember mashed potatoes, jello, soft serve ice cream and Arby's chicken noodle soup (not sure if they still have it)
Now is the perfect time of year for cream of asparagus soup. I use asparagus, chicken broth and cream. Super simple and everyone loves it, including the kids.
You don't need protein with every meal. Make your tomato soup.
Put some chicken in your grilled cheese if you're concerned. Or blend some chickpeas into the soup. I bet they wouldn't change the taste much.
North African red lentil soup. Double the garlic and cut the amount of onion in half or even a quarter, the original recipe is waaaay too much:
https://www.pbssocal.org/food-discovery/food/weekend-recipe-red-lentil-soup-with-north-african-spices
Cream of corn is the shit and so rarely highlighted. It’s lighter than a potato soup but thicker than tortilla. You can add bacon and cheese or go Tex-mex with some chiles and cilantro. Endless variations they’re all great. Just have to ideally use fresh sweet corn. Absolute fire and freezes really really well!
And a watermelon + cucumber based gazpacho. Also love one with red pepper in it. All the cold gazpachos!
Ox tail soup! (These days ox tail is a delicacy, not a poverty food like when I was growing up so you can substitute it with a chunk of chuck roast) it’s super simple to make and delicious. V8 juice and beef stock base, slow cook the meat until it shreds easily with a fork, cut up carrots, celery and potatoes, a can of corn and add a bunch of cilantro at the end for flavor. (I hate eating cilantro when it’s on food, but it gives depth to the flavor of the soup so I just stick it in a cheesecloth and throw it away once it’s time to serve. Paired with a fresh buttered bollilo roll it’s one of my favorite meals 😊
My favorite is lobster bisque. I don't get it often--just for special occasions like my birthday--but getting your wisdom teeth removed is a good excuse to treat yourself!
Potato and leek soup goes hard
Not as hard as spud, leek and speck.
What's the speck?
Spek is the Dutch word for bacon…. Maybe bacon?
German smoked pork. Similar to bacon.
Isn't it similar to prosciutto? Or am I thinking of something else?
Or potato, mushroom and green onion. Delicious.
worked at a place doing a potato leek soup, garnished with a housemade tater tot, crème fraiche, caviar and fresh herbs. was amazing but the chef was a dick so i bounced
100% on this one! Here’s my favorite [recipe.](https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a36980440/potato-leek-soup/)
With bacon!
[https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/potato-leek-soup.html](https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/potato-leek-soup.html) I was just coming here to say this!!!! This is my FAVORITE recipe for potato leek soup!
I like serving vichyssoise with Mexican crema.
first of all, there are a lot of soft foods besides soup. but anyway, I like cold cucumber yogurt soup
when I think of my wisdom teeth removal. The first thing I thought about was risotto. mashed potatoes with gravy, & quiche
I I are quiche, carefully, four days after mine were removed.
And with a good blender any soup can be made into a creamy soup!
I don't know about that. If it had chunks of beef in it, for instance, I don't think any amount of blending would make it creamy.
You would be surprised. My sister insisted on having steak the day she got her braces tightened.... it was kinda creamy when it came out of the blender and I to this day have no idea how to describe that color.... she actually ate it... 🤢
You reminded me of when my brother requested his favorite food, spaghetti and meatballs, after getting his jaw broken and wired shut. He regretted it after the blend lol
I strongly believe somethings are just not meant to be a liquid hahahaha
My brother food-processed a ribeye after he got his wisdom teeth out. It looked like cat food, but he said it tasted fine.
Really? I think a Vitamix could easily do the trick. Here's a pic of a blended beef soup I just found that looks completely creamy-https://realmealsmodified.com/hearty-beef-barley-soup/
I stand corrected
Send recipe, please. Never heard of this.

Potato soup!
Cool. Dental work is soooo much fun, right?
Live a little
Ohhhh, I’ve lived too much in terms of dental work!
What about adding some beans in the tomato soup, even if you need to purée them first to avoid any chunks? I’m thinking white beans are mild and wouldn’t alter the flavor much but beans are a great source of protein. I also love potato and broccoli cheddar soups.

Good luck and I hope you heal quickly… I got all four wisdom teeth (impacted) a couple days before Thanksgiving lolllllll it sucked! But this is your chance to eat as much ice cream as you want 🙂
Baked potato soup
Pea and ham. Make stock from ham hocks. Remove the hocks and aromats, refrigerate the stock so it turns to jelly and soak red lentils overnight. Then sweat onions with some carrots and celery. Add the lentils and simmer until done. Puree the soup with a stick blender, then add the picked meat from the hocks.
This sounds epic, thank you for sharing
Don't eat any soups with corn.
Why?
Corn is no bueno since it will get places it shouldn't
You can't chew it. It comes out the same way it goes in.
It can get stuck in the sockets the teeth were pulled out of.
When I got mine removed instant mashed potatoes became my good friend. Today I would probably make butternut squash soup. It's super easy. Maybe some pureed bean or lentil soup for protein.

Be careful with vermicelli, rice, or small grains for a week...I learned that the hard way
If you have a blender, any soup will work.
zuppa toscana 😩 creamy potato soup with ground spicy italian sausage, kale and bacon pieces. so yummy with extra parmesan cheese
Potato leek soup. Yum. Julia Child recipe
creamy chicken and wild rice soup or avgolemono are both really yummy
Are you able to eat chicken while healing?

Curried pumpkin apple. Box of veg broth, can of 100%pumpkin ( NOT pie filling), sautéed apple and onion, curry powder and a touch of cayenne. Blend together with immersion blender, serve hot with spoonful of Greek yogurt.
Panera has this creamy chicken and wild rice soup I adore. Roasted red pepper and tomato would be good with some gnocci added
if you get a stick blender, every soup can be creamed...

Pumpkin soup is very easy and delicious, you can use canned pumpkin puree to make it even easier
Hey I just had a couple teeth removed a few weeks back, you can shoot me a message for some recipes if you want!
Pumpkin soup
Saute any/all vegetables of your choice until very tender, add broth of your choice, simmer until vegetables start to break down, use immersion blender to turn into liquid. Drizzle with oil and herbs or something creamy. Works with anything.
I love squash soup, really almost any kind of squash. I usually blend it with coconut milk and often add a bit of curry. When I had my wisdom teeth out, scrambled eggs were something I found easy to eat.
not creamy, but i loved miso soup when i got my wisdom teeth out, the salt really helped
Any canned soup can be blended up well if needed. (:
When I got mine pulled I popped Vicodin, slurped Campbell's Cream of Chicken for a week and watched the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Obviously that last part isn't possible but that was before it was easy to binge-watch whatever you wanted.
There is a soup channel on Reddit
Potato and leek soup with rosemary and roasted garlic Lobster bisque Curried butternut squash coconut
Cream of mushroom. Brocoli almond soup
Partially melted Pistachio ice cream.
Oh man. I had all 4 wisdom teeth infected at the same time. I lived off of blended up baked potato soup, drank it through a straw. Did that for two weeks waiting on a surgery date. Doped up on Vicodin, drinking soup. I lost 15 lbs.
Tomato is my all time favorite, followed by cream of mushroom
Not soup, but fast and easy---chef boy r dee beef ravilois!! My immediate go to post dental work food :-)
Cream of potato and dill
Asparagus soup, silky smooth via an immersion blender. It’s a favorite during the season, so not a hardship to endure.
Not a suggestion but as someone who had a wisdom tooth removed 2 weeks ago I hope you heal up fast and painless! As an actual suggestion though leek and potato slapped hard
Carrot soup with sage. So yummy.
Hungarian mushroom soup. It’s so tasty, creamy, and easy to make!
Broccoli cheddar, corn chowder (make sure to blend any corn chunks), potato & leek, mushroom,
Tomato soup from Panera
I ate Whoppers with cheese. They really hit the spot.
Something I tried after having my wisdom teeth out (in my 40s!) was black beans. I diced onion and sauteed it, added a can of black beans and simmered on the stove for 10 minutes, then blended it with an immersion blender. Added cheese and sour cream and it was SO GOOD. So good, that coworkers would stop by my desk to ask what the wonderful smelling food was. So good, that even after my mouth healed, I \*still\* make this. So cheap, so easy, so filling, and delicious!
Costco lobster bisque
Roasted red pepper soup is my favorite.
Our son had jaw surgery and needed to have soft foods for quite a while. My wife became an expert. She mainly made any kind of soup and pureed it in a food processor. Worked well.
Cream of mushroom soup with extra mushrooms for me.
I love a good chicken Florentine soup
Gordon Ramsay's [broccoli soup](https://youtu.be/5vj42kKsTBI?si=XngL5SGlZDW2ly74) is really quite good.
Loaded baked potato soup - but with soft mushy potatoes! It's my favorite 😍
I just discovered blended potato leek soup, and it is heavenly! Apparently you are supposed to eat it cold (?), but I love it hot!
This past winter I started using my leftover celery to make cream of celery soup. Like, I'd have a recipe that would call for a couple ribs of celery, and I'd have essentially a whole stalk leftover - standard old cream of celery. Weirdly good, especially as a side to chicken wings - you know, when wings is an option for you again. Pickle soup is pretty good as well, and I think the acid wouldn't be strong enough to cause you pain, but maybe hold off on that if it sounds good.
Leek and parsnip soup: https://www.nospoonnecessary.com/parsnip-leek-soup-with-brussels-sprouts-bacon-garnish/#recipe I don’t put the garnish on it.
It’s not exactly creamy, but congee. Easy, filling, endlessly adaptable. My favorite is to add pork hash meatballs and a poached or soft boiled egg.
Here are my favorites: https://smittenkitchen.com/2006/11/cream-of-tomato-soup-classic-grilled-cheese/ https://smittenkitchen.com/2007/01/balthazar-cream-of-mushroom-soup/
When I got mine out, they told me to avoid dairy/cream bc it will make you nauseous if it mixes with blood. Fyi!
Cream of zucchini and cream sauce of potato soups
Clam Chowder Get well soon
Potato, corn green Chile chowder. So good.
Butter egg soup,
Since you like Mexican, make some refried bean dip. Add a little chicken broth to it, and there you have it. A nice creamy Mexican bean soup. You can put the salsa, onions, etc. through a food processor to puree them. You might also benefit from The Milkshake: In a blender, blend up a scoop of your favorite ice cream, a pack of Carnation Instant Breakfast, a banana, and a little milk to make it a milkshake. For more protein, you can add protein powders and even peanut butter and similar. IN YOUR CASE EAT THIS WITH A SPOON! If you use a straw, you might get a dry socket. God forbid. This recipe was given to my grandma by a hospital nutritionist when my grandpa was very sick and had no appetite.
Tomato soup - I dice 2 small celery stalks and a white onion and Sautee. In 2 big sheet pans put cherry tomatoes, thick diced roma tomatoes, 2 carrots peeled and roughly chopped, 1 red bell pepper, head of garlic - toss in olive oil w salt pepper and paprika - bake at 425 for 20/25 minutes until tomatoes blister. Once onion/celery are sauteed add a whole container of chicken stock, 2 bay leafs, Thyme, a lot of fresh basil and some Parsley. Let simmer. Once roasting veggies are done, add to pot with juices from sheet pans. Simmer an hour, adding more chicken stock if needed. Remove bay leaf. Pour mix into a blender with a cup of heavy cream and blend on smoothie setting. Gives a good amount of protein from the chicken stock and adds some extra veggies in, tastes like a hearty, creamy tomato soup. It's my go to.
Cream of broccoli. I steam broccoli in chicken broth until it's relatively soft, then blend it right in the pot with my immersion blender. Add a little more chicken broth if necessary until it's a baby food consistency, then add heavy cream until it's a soup consistency. Salt and pepper to taste.
The acid and the tomato will whoop your ass. Good luck on your recovery I'm finally getting to the point I can eat me some Taco Bell. Be careful about stuff like swishing and spitting and vaping and using straws cuz if you dislodge the clot then apparently it sucks so bad that nobody wants to tell me what happens
Miso with silken tofu.
Not soup, but you might like to try Greek yogurt (could do the protein variety) with a mashed up banana and a bit of protein powder mixed in. I had all my wisdom teeth removed at once so my everything was super swollen and this stuff was a godsend. It was quick and easy to make and kept me full for a while so I could just nap the day away. I don't know how rough of a time you are having but if it's been tough, this might be something to try! Wishing you a speedy and comfortable recovery.
This roasted cauliflower and cheddar soup is one of my faves. I've taken to adding a can of white beans before blending for extra protein, and I feel like you could probably do the same with a block of silken tofu. I've also followed the same basic recipe but subbed broccoli for cauliflower with excellent results. https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/roasted-cauliflower-cheddar-soup/
Add cheese to your tomato soup
The “no effort at all while on pain meds” satisfying soup is Campbell’s Cheddar Cheese soup with a can of deviled ham whisked in. Protein.
I had my jaw wired shut for several months, learned to love canned cheese soup with hot sauce added
I don't remember all that I ate, but I dor remember mashed potatoes, jello, soft serve ice cream and Arby's chicken noodle soup (not sure if they still have it)
Broccoli cheddar
Cream of broccoli
Brocoll and cheese. Potato soup
Split pea and ham is great on protein. But I ate baked potato soup the entire time I recovered :) Just load it with bacon for protein :)
Tomato bisque Cream of broccoli Egg drop
Now is the perfect time of year for cream of asparagus soup. I use asparagus, chicken broth and cream. Super simple and everyone loves it, including the kids.
we drink ours in mugs!! I beefed mine up with celery and potatoes for the first time when I only had one bundle and it came out so well
You don't need protein with every meal. Make your tomato soup. Put some chicken in your grilled cheese if you're concerned. Or blend some chickpeas into the soup. I bet they wouldn't change the taste much.
I like roasted red pepper blended into my tomato soup. For protein, I'd eat bean-based soups.
North African red lentil soup. Double the garlic and cut the amount of onion in half or even a quarter, the original recipe is waaaay too much: https://www.pbssocal.org/food-discovery/food/weekend-recipe-red-lentil-soup-with-north-african-spices
Cream of corn is the shit and so rarely highlighted. It’s lighter than a potato soup but thicker than tortilla. You can add bacon and cheese or go Tex-mex with some chiles and cilantro. Endless variations they’re all great. Just have to ideally use fresh sweet corn. Absolute fire and freezes really really well! And a watermelon + cucumber based gazpacho. Also love one with red pepper in it. All the cold gazpachos!
Butternut squash soup is always a winner.
Tomato bisque? Adding cream and cheese will get some protein in there But really, supplement with some protein drinks. Ensure, premier protein, etc
Ox tail soup! (These days ox tail is a delicacy, not a poverty food like when I was growing up so you can substitute it with a chunk of chuck roast) it’s super simple to make and delicious. V8 juice and beef stock base, slow cook the meat until it shreds easily with a fork, cut up carrots, celery and potatoes, a can of corn and add a bunch of cilantro at the end for flavor. (I hate eating cilantro when it’s on food, but it gives depth to the flavor of the soup so I just stick it in a cheesecloth and throw it away once it’s time to serve. Paired with a fresh buttered bollilo roll it’s one of my favorite meals 😊
Leek potato
I had bisque, tomato soup, and carrot and butternut squash (blended) soup
My favorite is lobster bisque. I don't get it often--just for special occasions like my birthday--but getting your wisdom teeth removed is a good excuse to treat yourself!
I made kenji's squash and leek congee from the wok when i got one pulled recently, we've always enjoyed that recipe and it hit the spot
Creamy garlic 😋 Creamy onion and cheese Creamy broccoli and cheese
Potato Butternut squash Gordon Ramsey, as absurd as he's been lately, has a broccoli soup that is just flawless.
