Having worked in Food Service long term care for many years.. The "soft" diet you refer to.. is this a prescribed diet..Is it gastric soft, or dental soft ? This makes a big difference in the types of food to recommend.
If you are looking to supplement .. Ensure Plus HN ( higher calorie , higher protein than just Ensure) . Make sure to serve it ICE COLD , and the chocolate is to only flavor that seems palatable to most. Carnation Instant breakfast is a good choice , Greek yogurt has a higher protein content than regular. Eggs are a good choice , so many different omelets you can sneak in extra protein via cheese . My personal favorite is asperagus omelet with cheddar cheese. Sneak in some tofu and beans into soups.
