I'm only on day 8. First time in resturant since surgery and their online menu has just few soup choices....couldn't eat anything with chunks. Any advice would be helpful.

Kitty,

I think I would just take my protein with me and sit and enjoy their company and not order anything. But I have been very careful not to eat what I am not suppose to and my Nut is pretty strict.

Have a great time with your friends and family.

Could you take the waitress aside and ask her if the kitchen can blend the soup for you?

I know I missed your two hour deadline, but I went out several times early out and wanted to post just in case for next time or others.

In a mexican food restaurant, the tortilla soup often has a stock that they pour over the ingredients. My hubbie and I both ordered a cup, and I asked them to let me pour the stock (it came out in a cute little creamer pitcher). I gave my hubbie the extra ingredients in the cup and just poured myself some stock. Kids and hubby shared the double ingredients (chicken, avacado, tortilla strips etc) with a little stock. My son used it as a dip for the chips.

In other restaurants, I have ordered a chunky soup. I could then scoop out spoonfulls of broth easily, took the rest home and blended/strained it for later.

I found the creamy Soups and chilis too chunky to scoop out spoonfuls of cream without chunks so after one attempt, I just avoided them at the restaurant. That one attempt, I finally used a fork to damn back the chunks and let a spoonfull of just the creamy soup on my spoon.

Miso soup at a japanese restaurant is great.

Once my husband ordered a sandwich au jou and gave me the au jou. I just ate it like soup.

Friendlies is definitely not the place to be. I looked at the menu. I would probably get the chicken noodle soup and just sip at the broth. Or you could bring a scoop of Protein powder and mix with a small shake.
