Most stores sell Annie's Bunnies. Definitely Target if you have one close by.

What about soups? Like Panera soup or Zoup! Something hearty but soft, like broccoli cheddar. The kind of soups that actually fill you up.

I don't trust takeaways because of allergies.

Grocery stores in my area, and even Target now sell Panera soups in the refrigerated section. Has all the ingredient and nutrition info on there. Maybe check those out to see if there's anything in them you can't have.

Good luck though, sucks being on a soft diet, especially when pregnant

It does suck. I'm pretty sure I can't have them, but with check.

If you can get past the idea of doing it, pretty much any food that you would normally eat can be put thru a blender and then drunk - personal experience of living on liquid food for a 3 1/2 month period after reconstructive jaw surgery... The lack of texture gets pretty boring after awhile, but it is survivable.

Yeah.... that's what turns me off about it.

Mashed potatoes/sweet potatoes. Cooked & mashed green beans or carrots. Yogurt. Protein shakes.

Hmm I guess I could put carrots and potato in my blender. That actually sounds amazing right now.

Don't put potatoes through a blender (or food processor), it'll turn to glue! You have to mash potatoes by hand. Other veggies are fine in a blender.

We buy premamde mashed potatoes.

baked custard? i always call it creme brulee because that's what i google ewhen i need a recipe refresh, but personally i just use milk instead of cream and keep the sugar really low. it's not everyone's thing, but it's definitely a chew-free option.

Panera is gluten central.

Yes it is. Even their gluten free options are always cross contaminated. I'm pretty sure their staff doesn't even understand what gluten is.

Most of my suggestions have been said... I would say hummus mostly cause what to dip in it is just a way to deliver it to your mouth... So use your finger and enjoy

I hope you get better soon and the dentist can sort it out!

Most soups can be turned into blended soups. My favorite homemade soup: Peel and cut some potatoes, onions, (celery and carrots optional) and add enough water to cover a few inches deep. Add salt, pepper, and celery salt to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer about an hour. Add butter or bacon grease (I usually do a large spoonful for a stock pot half filled), and once it's melted add milk. Run the vegetables through the blender with a little of the liquid and then mix back in.
