Cut food into small pieces that are ½ inch or smaller in size because they are easier to swallow.

Use chicken broth, beef broth, gravy, or sauces to cook or moisten meats and vegetables. Cook vegetables until they are soft enough to be mashed with a fork.

Use a food processor to grind or puree foods to make them easier to chew and swallow.

Use fruit juice to blend fruit.

Strain soups that have pieces of meat or vegetables that are larger than ½ inch.
