Heat all together. Put roasted cauliflower in blender add wet mixture (a little at a time to desired consistency) and spin away. Add more wet ingredients till it is a good soup consistency.
Enjoy Can do it with a mix of veggies or just different vegetables alone. Carrot and apple is good,broccolli, winter squashes work well also.

A potato soup if cooked properly could be good, enough broth and a little mashing might do the trick for consistency.

I am so sorry for your friend. I have a suggestion that I learned about when I had my jaws wired shut after jaw surgery many years ago.
Make what ever dinner she wants, then stick it in a blender until it is the consistency of a soup. Do that with entrees desserts, fruits and veggies. Place each in a different cup with straw.
FYI if the WBC is so low you need to be wary of what is called neutropenia. And even if the WBC is up, it is wise to keep away from yogurts, and fresh flowers.
As for being a diabetic, they use splenda

When I'm really sick I always like to have Tofu Miso Soup. Has good nutritional value, antioxidants, etc., and tastes excellent. Plus, it's a thin soup so very easy to eat & digest. Here's some info:

This sounds good too. I could saute up some leeks and boil the potatoes in chix stock or broth or add it after I drain the cooked potatoes.I'll have to look for a recipe as I'm thinking "just add milk & onions to mashed potatoes until it's thinned to soup consistency. Pretty sure that's not how it's done. Thanks for your reply.
