My dietician gave me a couple of recipes for Soups on the full liquid phase. I was skeptical, but they're very good. My husband tasted them and said he would eat it for dinner anytime. My favorite is the Southwest chicken Soup. Combine in blender or processor, 2TB fat free cream of chicken soup, 1 TB chopped deli-type chicken, 1 TB of salsa from your favorite Mexican restaurant (I just used Wholly Salsa) and a dash of southwest blend spices (I used Emerils, but Mrs Dash has something similar). I added a little fat free chicken stock too (the recipe called for FF evaporated milk and FF refried Beans but i left those out. Leaving them would provide even more Protein though). Just blend everything until smooth then heat in the microwave. So yummy! And great protein source. If you like this one, I can post a few others. I also bought a copy of a cookbook she wrote specifically for bariatric patients. If anyone is interested I can send you more info on that. She works for my surgeon, but I'm sure she could still sell those cookbooks to people that aren't his patients.
