[BUG] - Shopping list items of the same type are not consolidated

First Check

• This is not a feature request.
• I added a very descriptive title to this issue (title field is above this).
• I used the GitHub search to find a similar issue and didn't find it.
• I searched the Mealie documentation, with the integrated search.
• I already read the docs and didn't find an answer.
• This issue can be replicated on the demo site (https://demo.mealie.io/).

What is the issue you are experiencing?

I created a meal plan with breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes selected. When I add the items to the shopping list via the meal planner feature, the items on the shoppinglist are not consolidated. For example, I have several entries for eggs and several entries for salt.

Steps to Reproduce

I'm attaching images that show the workflow.
1.) Fill a day in mealplanner with recipes
2.) Create a shopping list or empty an existing one
3.) Add items from the mealplanner to the shopping list

If I them select and de-select items on the shopping list, they will get summed together. So it looks like this step is skipped when adding items via the mealplanner.

Please provide relevant logs

The log is empty when I perform these actions.

Looks like this is specific to adding from the mealplanner; adding a single recipe is fine, even when it has multiple repeated ingredients (e.g. 1 clove garlic, 2 cloves garlic).

My guess is that it's a race condition due to sending multiple "add recipe" requests at once, and they don't see each other. Solution would be to either send one request at a time (slow) or add a new backend API to accept multiple recipes in one request

Hi,
I have the same problem with version 2.1.0.
Is there any update regarding this bug?

@padawarmik are you able to share your exact replication steps?
This is definitely an edge case bug, so I'm keen to have as much documentation about the scenarios as possible.
