What are some real flavorful soft foods/recipes?

i'm having some dental problems right now and it's hard to chew. i like soups but am getting tired of them. any ideas on really good stuff to make? oh and i don't care much for bananas...





but i love food like gourmet stuff so best answer goes to the most creative idea, not like mashed potatoes or puree'd foods...What are some real flavorful soft foods/recipes?
Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, and a egg. Peel and cut some large-ish zucchinis into 1';-2'; sections and hollow out the middle. Stuffed the insides with the meat mixture. Place some olive oil in a large pan and lightly fry the zuchinis until they're nice and brown. Then fill the pan up with chicken broth, cover, and let it simmer until everything's all yummy and tasty and mushy. Serve it over rice.





************************





1 chicken breast


2 tbsp mayonnaise


1 tsp garlic


1/2 onion (6 oz?)


greens -- spinach or good lettuce, maybe cooked peas - a handful


salt %26amp; pepper





mix in blender until it is as oozy as you like; serve on lightly toasted bread or buns





*****************************





Mince and Tatties.





There are lots of versions of this dish and not really one ';right'; way, but this is my method...





Brown some ground beef, ground pork, minced beef or anything really. Set it aside and drain the fat but leave the pan greasy. Chop a whole onion(or two) and start frying it, the idea being to get a bit of browning happening, it does not need to be fully cooked in this stage but it's fine if it is.





Now add back the meat, some stock (beef, veggie, chicken, whatever you want really, also you could just use water and oxo), grated carrot and sometimes I also add a grated sweet potato. Slow cook this with plenty of salt and pepper and herbs to taste. I like a bit of oregano and a good amount of sage, but do this however you like. If herbs are fresh, add them near the end.





The dish is now in a holding pattern and could be ready in 20-30 minutes, or you could slow cook it for hours. I usually add something to thicken it right near the end. If you use flour, make sure it has time to cook the raw flour taste out, or you could just not thicken it at all.





Now for the tatties... just make mashed potatoes however you like them!





Serve with a generous scopping of the mince directly on the tatties and go to town. Feel free to add a side veggie or maybe some bread.What are some real flavorful soft foods/recipes?
