Pumpkin soup has little nutritional value, except for any fatty dairy

Stock has little nutritive value... overcooked veggies also has little
nutritive value... better off with raw veggies through a juicer.

Blech!

Tapioca is more empty carbs.

I think if someone can't eat much volume at a sitting they need to
keep away from filling foods that have little to no nutritive value.

Another food I'd include that is almost a complete amino acid is
buckwheat (kasha), it's available in fine granulation, and 100pct
buckwheat flour can be added to smoothies. And for rich animal
protein "force meat" is easy to swallow/digest and can be easily
seasoned to taste good... homemade deviled ham/chicken/beef would make
a very good filling for deviled eggs, practically fat free... use
prepared mustards and meat aspics to moisten... don't need any
stinkin' mayo. In fact poached fish in aspic is an excellent high
nutrition food, as are homemade fish cakes from fish you grind
yourself.. gefilte fish contains practically no fat, is very
nutritious, very digestible, and can be easily seasoned to taste
good... don't forget the poached veggies; carrots/celery. One can
poach fine ground white meat poultry too, beef as well... for such a
low fat, dense nutrition diet a meat grinder is a must. Canned
veggies are also handy; green beans, asparagus, carrots, etc. are
nutritious and here the lack of texture is a plus.
