In a lunch meeting yesterday, I bit down on an uninspired chicken pesto sandwich from Corner Bakery (lunch was not my choice this time) and felt a crunch, like chewing on pebbles. It was bits of my molar. Every time I've had to chew anything since, little bits of tooth go along with it, which is, to say the least, unpleasant.

Now I find myself in the position of having to be on soft foods for a while. Soup is an obvious choice, so long as there isn't a lot of stuff in it that requires chewing (hunks of meat, thick noodles, etc.). Lucky that it's becoming soup weather. I want good soup, though, which is harder to find. I'm thinking this weekend I'll make some Potato-Leek, but I need to eat before that.

Any reliable take away soup to recommend? My husband works near Presidental Towers downtown and gets some very tasty soup at the little store there, but I work near O'Hare. In the past I have made do with the soup bar at Dominick's on Cumberland, but only as a side to something better.

Of course, it doesn't have to be soup. I'd love to hear about something soft and delicious that I may not have thought of. New ideas in chew-free food!

Personally, I love all forms of hot cooked grain: buttered grits, either sweet or savory, polenta (cheesy, herbed, etc.).

Mashed potatos: garlic, blue cheese, etc.

Scrambled eggs?

Steel cut oatmeal.

A good excuse to live on dessert: Flan, ice cream, rice pudding, pumkin pie filling, choc. mousse

Caviar

Steak tartar :)

I love brandade - salt cod mashed with potatoes into a nice, salty, creamy consistency! YUM. Celery root mash with a beef stock/red wine reduction or gravy would also be a savory option.

Good quality homemade mac & cheese (no blue box!).
