So the cooking process on this is to put each ingredient into the food processor before cooking it. Except of course the meat and any liquid. But any veggies or anything, got chopped down before being cooked. One person can work the food processor and just add all the veggies for one soup into a mixing bowl and have it sitting and waiting to be cooked, so the cook just has to finish one soup, set it out to cool, get a new pot and dump the next set of veggies into it and start cooking. Assembly line is the ONLY way to go if you're going to attempt this.... Once the soup is all cooked, let it cool a little, and then put it into the upright blender in batches, pouring it into a large clean mixing bowl to cool entirely before storing in the baggies. Also, we altered all of the recipes to be HEAVY in calories. If it says to sautee the onions in 1Tbs of butter, we used a whole cube of butter. If it said to use skim milk, we used heavy cream. When you're only eating 1/4 cup of food at a meal, and only 2 or 3 meals a day, what you do eat HAS TO be rich in calories. Especially with cancer treatments, if you start losing weight, you're much more likely to die. So keep the calories UP! Also, if you're working with someone who has difficulty swallowing, obviously liquids are easier to swallow, BUT thick liquids are easier to swallow than thin liquids. For instance, pudding is MUCH MUCH easier to swallow than water is. A doctor explained why to me once, but I'd only bungle the explanation. So just trust me.
