This is a delicious recipe and I made it for Christmas dinner. It sounds
very rich, but it's only 3 points for WW so isn't that bad.

My husband had an emergency surgery 2 weeks ago (Meckel's
Diverticulitis), and he is not handling solids so well. The doc
suggested warm liquids.

I need some comforting, filling, and "blended" soup suggestions.

Today I heated up a quart of chicken broth with some carrots, onions,
celery and Tsp of dried parsley and set it to simmer. Came back &
half-hour later & decided I should have turned the simmer down.
I had a black bottomed pot with some nicely roasted veggies. I gently
scraped off the veggies, dumped them into another quart of warmed
chicken broth and puree'd it all. DH actually said it was good, and
he is not one to tell me what I want to hear.

I'm glad I did well, but I would like to know if there is anything I
can do to spruce this up a little. I'm pretty good at following a
recipe, and sometimes good at improvising, but I really don't have a
knack for spices and/or how much to use.

The soup cannot be very spicy, and it cannot have lumps.
His tummy just won't handle it.

Suggestions???
