Does egg drop soup qualify for a broth??

No as it's not clear. I was allowed to have it during my full liquid phase but not my clear liquid one.

Only if you strain it! Yeah take all of the good stuff out.....

But fyi - I loved miso soup during my clear phase. Again, strained, but it was very filling (we got it from a local sushi shop that is very good).

Thanks for suggestions! I was hoping it would be an alternative to the same ole' broth.

Unjury chicken soup is good...... fyi. Just don't overheat it... or it'll clump up. You can buy it online. But the clear liquids are not a "thrilling" stage, sorry.

To change the flavor of your soup broth, try adding a little garlic powder or Mrs. Dash seasoning. I did that with mine & it was soooo good!

Strain it and use it! It's far more flavorful and will keep you from getting bored. And don't forget that you can use spices during your clears phase to make boring old broth taste better. I never cared much for hot and spicy foods but immediately post op they made me feel much more satisfied.

Wow, great! I will check out the Unjury Soups. I also like the idea of adding seasoning/spices for flavor. That helps so much!

I strained and drank egg drop soup during my clear stage without issue. It was a welcome and delicious change... and I could only drink about 2 oz of the broth.

Strain it & enjoy! Something different! Also good....chicken broth w/ a little bit of chicken bouillon granules to strengthen the flavor w/ soy sauce & a little bit of white miso paste (usually can be found in the international food aisle at a large grocery store). Yum! Also great for pureed stage or strained now is hot & sour soup w/o meat. It will taste so good if you want some serious flavor!!
