I just got my wisdom teeth removed today and I am already bored with the menu.....soup, soup, soup, and milkshakes. Any ideas?

Most soft things are good with exceptions
Don't eat anything with a residual (as my oral surgeon put it). Residuals would be anything that breaks into small pieces when chewed (or is already small). I would not eat cream of wheat like another poster indicated because of the small grains getting caught into the cavity vacated by your tooth. Pasta and rice are also off limits. I repeat, do not eat any rice under any circumstances. It can easily get caught in your tooth hole and cause you problems.
I got dry socket from small food particles and believe me, you do NOT want to get this. It can be caused by food particles. You don't get dry socket until 3-5 days after the surgery.
Eat mashed potatoes (and yes soup), scrambled eggs. Just deal with it for a few days and don't rush other foods.
And, no straws if that hasn't been made clear to you already.

Use ice, drugs not to heal anything. I visited my appointment so that as an afterthought the physician offered me a prescription for anti-biotics since i also provide contamination within the gum in which the knowledge tooth is erupting. He offered me a card to have an dental surgeon and I must see him prior to the actual extraction from the teeth, for it to be some time yet. I don't take drugs, especially anti-biotics simply because they kill all bacteria.....you're frequently not told that, so rather I've been washing my mouth by helping cover their tea tree oil mix with water. It's natually antibacterial and i'm consuming fresh lemon within my water amongst other things. Keep and ice pack nearby....it truely does work the best with no harsh contaminant chemicals during these drugs.

If you feel up to it, try ramen noodles. They're usually pretty soft, and best of all, they're cheap!
A day or two later, try baked fish. Overbake them so the fillets get really soft and fall apart easily.
I'm sorry to tell you, though... soup, milkshakes, jello and pudding is about the extent of your menu right now.

You want to be careful not to disturb any stitches or clots necessary for healing! How about some nice mashed potatos or mac and cheese? Nothing hard or chewy at this stage. Who can get bored with milkshakes???? :) Feel better!

Yogurt or Pastina pasta, there are really tiny. You can also try mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes, those are very soft.

Anything that wont get you to do the sucking (not like that!) move.... it will cause dry sockets. no sipping or sucking foods, like with a straw.
