Almost 2 years ago, my partner and I made the big decision to move in her aging parent with us to become her caregivers.
There was a lot of responsibility and changed that came with that. And cooking was one of the biggest things to adjust to.
This video is from last year, but I thought I would post it again. Because it was a great soup and a good meal idea for a family with an elderly parent.
Our aging parent will require soft and lower sodium food. Of course the rest of the family doesn’t. So I always need to make meals two ways. Sometimes there are super simple adjustments like just adding a bit more salt to the rest of the families at the end. And then sometimes those adjustments are a bit more.
This is how I make a healthy, easy soup for lunch that works for our aging parent and the rest of the family.

Trying to give everyone at the table almost the same food but in a way everybody can enjoy it is such a big thing.
Her healthy is not your healthy, but you still make her feel like a part on the family meal and not left out ❤
