To Soup, or not to soup

Soup is comfort food, and this is the time of year when it seems like exactly the right thing to make. It can be... unless your elderly person has trouble bringing food to their mouth without spilling. In that case, eating soup can turn into a disaster, and prove to be humiliating.

Cream-style soups, made very thick, can prove to be a good option. Try making cream of potato soup. It's super easy, delicous, and can be healthful.

Chop onion and celery, and carrots if you like.
Saute in coconut oil with garlic until tender
Add diced potato, and vegetable broth, just covering vegetables
Simmer until potatoes are tender
Stir in coconut milk, and add salt and pepper to taste

Make this soup very, very thick. You may top with shredded cheese for a treat. Serve with a large spoon, and some crusty bread.
