This is the tastiest thing I've had since surgery. I'm in the full liquid stage and am simply sick of broth, popsicles, and cream of chicken Soup... Here's what my hubbie made me:

1 can Cream of Potato Soup

2 T shredded cheese (didn't use lowfat, because this whole recipe fed me 12 times - LOL)

1 can's worth enriched non-fat milk

1/2 tsp smoke flavoring

Cook everything together and put through a strainer to make sure there aren't any lumps.

Tastes like a yummy cheesy potato soup with bacon!

If you're on full liquids still - give it a try - I really enjoyed it!

Isn't that a bit too much carbs? I'm major afraid of carbs at this point. . .

Sounds YUM!

I pretty much lived on soup during full liquids. My dietitian didn't want me to worry about carbs at all on clear & full liquids because there is so much restriction in what you CAN eat.

Absolutely, Midwest...

When you're on liquids, you're lucky to get 500 calories in you at all - so carbs or not, every bite counts.

When you start mushing your foods and eating more "regular" stuff, you need to focus on the protien first and then balance the other foods.

I'm so glad I'm on my blended foods now instead of full liquid - it was tough - but I lost 12 pounds on that part!!! Pros and cons...

but the soup was truly yummy
