Hello,

Last week I did the 5 day pouch test just to get back on track and get rid of carb cravings!!! On the web site was a recipes tab which I found an awesome Lo-Carb pumpkin and Sausage Soup....!!! Before you say yuck... keep in mind it is lo-carb, it is rich in Vitamin A, Thiamin and B12..

1 cup has 15 grams of protien!!! I did play with the recipe: switched sausage for turkey sausage, switched heavy cream for fat free half & half and switched sour cream for fat free sour cream!! Does not impact Protein at all, just cuts some of the fat out.

Below is the link, this recipe is quick and easy and even my kids loved it!!!

sounds super yummy! thanks for sharing the recipe!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this!!! I've been looking for a pumpkin soup recipe with protein to try. I think the sauges will go nicely becuase the seasoning in this recipe is not the more traditional nutmeg/cinnamon, sweeter type flavors. It's worth a try anyway. I also like your substitutions. I'll be doing that too. Thanks again!

Who did your surgery at the Barix Clinics in Ypsilanti, MI?

Thank you! This looks great. I will try your lower fat version. Maybe I need to try that pouch test too....

Thanks...I hadn't heard of the website. I am just a newbie still in the pre-op program with Kaiser - Southern California. I saved it as a favorite and the Soups mentioned sound awesome. I probably won't have my surgery until early next year, but I definately want to be prepared!!
