Re: Diet questions

If texture's a problem, maybe blended soups? Feature something you do like with small amounts of the stuff you don't for nutrition. Spice it however you want.

Came here to say this.

Seconding with an addendum: spicy vegetable soups! :)

I tend to take canned veggie soups and add a boatload of pepper to make it more palatable before heating it up.

Also, my own cheapish ramen recipe that's actually not too bad:

Start by assembling whatever you want to put in the soup besides the actual noodles - vegetables, tofu, 'matching' meat*, etc. Chop it up to your preference and set it aside.

Get some chicken* ramen. Use about half as much water as the directions recommend - as little as possible - and only use about a third of the spice packet. As soon as the noodles are soft or even when they still have a little ways to go, drain it and set the pot aside.

Now, all that stuff you set aside earlier?

Get a pan or wok out, spray/coat with your preferred low-fat cooking oil, and stir fry with another third of the spice-packet. I also put in pepper and thyme, but it's really that ramen spice packet that helps make even the most unpalatable vegetables tolerable. I usually go with chicken, tofu, and mushrooms, occasionally adding in celery or carrots, but you can add whatever you like.

Once everything is fried to your taste, dump it in the pot with the noodles, pour in some chicken stock*, and mix in the last third of the spice packet. Simmer/boil for a few minutes (not too long, just enough to finish cooking the noodles).

If you want the low-sodium version, drain most of the broth once you're done. If you don't mind the sodium, then turn off the stove and you're done! :)

* = also works for beef (just use beef meat and beef stock), or Oriental (tofu or seafood with vegetable stock). :) Just don't try with shrimp flavor, that never turns out well. :|
