That's fantastic! Sounds like he really prefers this "new" food And yes, I'd give it another couple of days at this level, then you can either try straight ground, or even meat slivers.

I would be tempted to put a couple of pieces of meat in that soupy this time. They don't have to be huge, just slivers, but something that he's going to have to chew. I would also see about getting some chicken wings (with the bones) and chop up one and put that in the soupy or offer it on the side. This will start to teach him to chew. He's now aware what this new food smells like.
