Soups

[Avillias 25]

Can anybody tell me what kinds of Soups you were eating 11 days out and I start mushy stage in 4 days any suggestions what I can eat?

My lifeline during this stage, because I needed flavor so bad, was cooking red Beans (pinto beans) in the crock pot and straining the juice!!

Also, I'm not to the soft foods yet, but my Dr suggest: unsweetened apple sauce, sugar free puddings, mashed sweet potatoes, puréed fruits and vegetables, low fat, low sugar yogurt such as Dannon light n fit or Greek yogurt, hoot cooked cereals such as oatmeal, grits, malt-o-meal, mashed Beans, non or low fat cottage cheese

Hope that helps some

Thanks I think I'll try doing that with red Beans. I'm really needing flavor as well

Get a submersible blender. I got one at costco last week for $28. It's great! Anything that is chunky liquid you can puree and it becomes a full liquid. The texture in your mouth is different, but your brain registers all the familiar tastes. I'm breezing thru the puree stage thanks to my mighty blender. :-)

I made my own turkey and veg, chicken and veg, ham and chicken and veg.

Pretty much anything I wanted I would make!

You can blend them up to the thickness you want and go from there.

Thanks this helps out a lot, I should have made me some Soups before surgery and froze some but I guess it's not to late.

I made pumpkin and turkey sausage Soup and pureed it smooth. It was wonderful. I also made a "taco" Soup and did the same with it.

I needed spice and flavor at that stage.
