@paxmundi I know you have special circumstances that you are very on top of so I am hesitant to give any specific dietary feedback, but I will note that for some people too much fat can increase mucus. If you are trying to push up calories with healthy fats it may be that your macros (carbs, fat, protein) are not at the right balance for you. Also, since you are not wheat intolerant I also suggest trying to include seitan in your soups as it has the highest amount of protein per serving of the vegan proteins, at least the whole food versions. Good luck, so many challenges on this journey and we all have our own unique paths through it.
