I would treat my mil the way I would treat anyone... By which, I mean no one is getting homemade soup from me. Never made it, do not intend to start now. And honestly, I can only remember having it once or twice in my life and none of those soups were very good. In fsct, one of the very worst meals anyone ever served me was homemade soup...35 years later I can still remember the bowl of horror.
Also I am not going to make homemade pasta or pie crust from scratch. I know people who think that serving store bought pasta or pie crust means you do not love your family. I think I will never be bringing those people food if they are that self righteous about it.
It always fascinates me how people can equate certain foodways with love and moral rectitude and how their inability to see that different food prep choices do not equal hatred or poor moral character.

OOH where can I buy that flavor?? I get mine at my local grocery store, and it says Oriental. Google says Amazon, Walmart and Target seem to have one that says soy sauce flavored. I don’t know if it’s the same. And frankly I wouldn’t have picked it up if the package said that, but they might be the same thing. Maybe try one and see if you like it? When I was in college I had a Chinese-Malaysian boyfriend. He liked to tell everyone he was oriental flavored.

Hey girl, be careful! What if your in-laws agree with you that no one can take care of them as well as you? You were miserable with your FIL there, so now is not the time to evaluate how other family members care for them. Be glad that your dh is not an only child, and that there are other people willing to do their share, even if it's not the way you would do it.

I don’t make homemade soup because I don’t like homemade soup. In fact, I ONLY like Campbell’s chicken noodle soup. I know, but it’s what my mom gave me when I am was sick as a child. Food floating in liquid does not appeal to me in general. However, I It would never have crossed my mind that I was mistreating someone by giving them canned soup if they actually liked soup.

None of those.... I would make her home made soup, if that is she wanted, because I loved her, just like any of the rest of my family. We remained close even after my divorce

There is more to soft foods than soup - that is what strikes me. this! endless soup is boring, boring, boring! practically anything can be pureed to a 'drinkable' texture if you add liquid to it. (been there, done that- the only dismal failure was when I tried to puree canned ravioli, lol!) eta: my DH hasn't spoken to his mother in about 15 years, so I won't be getting her any soup, canned or otherwise, ever. And I don't mind that a bit; she was very self-centered, selfish, and narcissistic.
