I made this Soup yesterday and it's super easy and tasty. It freezes great too, goes right into my freezer in 1/2 cup to 1 cup portions!

Looks and sounds yummy. I still can't do beans so well yet, but I sure hope that changes soon. This looks like a wondeful cold winter day sort of soup. Thanks for sharing!!!

Sounds yummy for a rainy day! Thank you for sharing with us.

Throw in some cornbread and you're barkin' right up my tree!

This sounds wonderful.... Can't wait to fix it.

What is the carb count for it?

I went to MFP and did a very quick calculation on the nutrition info. I used 12 oz for the ham. It may not be exact, but ballpark is good enough for me. I made 8 servings out of the recipe and it came to 164 cal, 15 carbs, 11 prot and 7 fat. Very acceptable for a bean soup. You could add some extra type of Protein or more ham...get creative...and this will be a wonderful meal.

@Soup-a-Woman - I am a year-round soup girl. I eat chili and soup anytime...I just turn up the AC!! And cold Soups are awesome, too. I really appreciate all your great recipes. Keep it up!!! Kathe

Sounds yummy! Thanks for posting.

Is not being able to eat beans common for sleevers? I really never thought about that being an issue... I toss beans into almost every soup since I'm always striving to get 2 sources of protein into each (one meat source, one plant-based source). I don't have any problems with beans at all. Pancakes, now, pancakes are another story. **shudder**

Only in the very early stages(Clear liquids & full liquids) once you are on to mushiness they are fine.

Other than that, its all an individual thing.

Soup-a-woman-I am 4 weeks 2 days post-op & I have no problem eating beans, in fact, I haven't had a problem with any food yet. I am on regular foods now & had steak & shrimp last night & it went down just fine. I was having a problem with turkey burgers & bison burgers feeling like they were "stuck" going down but realized I wasn't chewing my food well enough. Now that I am, I have no issues. I have had Wendy's chili & I eat refried beans alot too (fat free). Obviously, it is an individual thing as to what one can eat.

Yummy
