Haha, blended pizza soup sounds like peak desperation mode... been there. Honestly, mac and cheese was a trap for me too—thought it'd be easy, but nope, total bracket disaster. Hang tight though, that first crunchy taco afterward is worth the wait.

Blended pizza soup... now that's creative, haha. Honestly, I feel your pain—after my extractions, I thought scrambled eggs would be a safe bet, but even those tiny bits were sneaky troublemakers. Mashed potatoes and smoothies became my best friends too. Hang in there, though; you're right about that first crunchy taco moment. When you finally get there, it's like rediscovering food all over again. You've got this!

Blended pizza soup sounds... interesting, but honestly, I'd be cautious about tomato-based stuff right after extractions. I tried tomato soup thinking it'd be smooth sailing, but the acidity made my gums sting like crazy. Ended up switching to lukewarm oatmeal and yogurt for a few days—boring, yeah, but way gentler. Everyone heals differently, though, so maybe you'll luck out. Either way, that taco moment really is worth the wait.

Tomato-based soups can indeed be tricky post-extraction due to their acidity. A good alternative I've found helpful is pureed butternut squash or sweet potato soup—smooth, nutritious, and gentle on sensitive gums. Might make the wait for tacos a bit easier...

Have you tried carrot ginger soup? My daughter had a tooth pulled recently, and she found it soothing without being bland. Tomato soups definitely made her gums sting a bit...guess it's the acidity factor? Anyway, carrot ginger was a lifesaver around here.
