Soups & More Soups?

[Shape_Shifter 83]

Started my pre-op liquids. Surgery is scheduled for this Friday (5 days)!

I didn't want to do a ton of campbells Soups. I will be having them enough at home. So for lunch i'm trying to get take out soups, etc. strain if necessary for the different flavored broths.

so far....

Chesapeake Bay Crab strained

Hearty Vegetable - strained (didn't leave alot of broth lol)

Egg drop Soup - didn't strain but will probably need to after surgery

I'm usually a meat-n-potatoes gal so any suggestins would be welcome!

ok, just found out that egg drop is high in sodium, corn starch and fat. guess i'll have to make a low-sodium chicken broth version at home.

Shape shifter if you don't mind where did you buy the Chesapeake Bay Crab? That sounds really good.

Giant frozen section they have a bag with veggies & seasoning and you just add the crab. I know there are alot of easy recipes on line - its usually a Tomato based Soup with veggies OLD BAY and lump crab. I'll see if i can find a recipe link and post it. I usually just take the easy way out but I always add more Old Bay to the recipe. They just don't have quite enough for Marylanders Yum

Is MD crab okay? I wasnt sure because of the Tomato broth. I will be good if so because I am a Marylander and I own a seafood restaurant.

I assumed so since I was only using the broth. I wasn't told anything about avoiding Tomato base.

I also got kind of burned out on Soups during the 2 week liquid diet also! I had my surgery July 26, so I am on day 8. My doctor said yogurts, sugar free jello/ pudding, and malt of meal were fine so thats what I've been eating. I also tried refried Beans several days after surgery and they went down fine. I hope that helps!
