I'm two days post op. Tired of broth-- what kind of soups do ya'll recommend?

Are you still on clear liquids? Thats just broth, water, gatorade, and the clear protein drinks like Isopure. But if you are on to the (full liquids) creamy soups all the ones that come in the cartons (not cans) are pretty good. Some are V8 brand and some are others. Butternut squash, tomato, and roasted red pepper are my faves. YOu can add your protein powder to them.I guess you can also put the more chunkier soups in the blender.

I drink the broth from the soup at el pollo loco. I ate alot creamy soup from different places.

I eat a lot of soup mainly veg soup made with cauliflour, broccoli, celery, zuchini and frozen peas and a chopped onion, veg stock cube , then blended with a stick blender tons of good vitamins and protein and very filling. The other soup i eat is weight watchers tomato soup is low calorie and is the only one that taste any good to be honest. ww soup is the only shop bought soup i eat i sometimes add chilli flakes to the veg soup to spice it up a bit, u can add 0 fat yoghurt too to make it more creamy.

clear is unfortunately just clear. have you had jello & popsicles?

I lived on cream of tomato soup the first month. Everytime I went to Albertsons to pick up my soup, I smelled the fried chicken in the deli and I almost died of hunger. Good luck with this stage. It'll be over soon and you'll be on to real food! Hang in there!

You should have been told to eat Protein drinks, pudding, jello also. Fat free & Sugar free of course.

I agree with the post about carton soups. If you have a Trader Joe's in your area they have excellent carton soups. You know what else is awesome? Mix in a few spoon fulls of plain/lowfat greek yogurt (I like the brand FAGE). Anyhow it makes the soup taste creamy and delicious as well as adds an excellent source of protein. Good luck to you!

Homemade soups are great for flavor. Use the lipton sodium free flavors for the broth, there good. also. Lipton cup of soup CREAM OF CHICKEN is very good, and it's just enough.

Down the road when you can eat carton soups. They are Great ! I still buy them, they are in the Organic area. ROASTED RED PEPPER has got to be the best. They also have a Mushroom, and the Butternut Squash is good. So check this stuff out, and see if it helps.

They are Very Good.
