Taco Soup



Recommended Posts

I have used the bag of Morningstar Soy crumbles for things like burritos, tacos etc. It is very tasty and my picky husband had no idea that it wasn't ground beef. I think the bag was around $3.50.

How many weeks out can we have this

You could purée your serving or it would be good in soft phase.

I also was told no corn but would sub diced tomatoes as well.

I made this tonight to Celebrate my first dinner with pureed foods! Made it for my dad, sister and boyfriend. I used 3 cans of Rotel tomatos with peppers instead of corn, sauteed onions after cooking the 93% lean and used 2 cans black Beans. 2 packets of taco seasoning, 1 of powder ranch. Made brown rice for everyone else and cooked it on the stove (didn't have time to slow cook) I pureed a cup for myself after adding unflavored Protein powder....YUM!!!!! Added non fat cheddar cheese to 1/4 cup and had no dumping or anything. 3.9 grams of fat, 181 calories and 13.7 grams of protein for 1 cup sans Protein Powder.< /p>

I made this too...did black Beans x2 and a can of navy beans, and a can of diced no salt added tomatoes. The kids and I loved it! This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing! This will be a great low cal dinner for fall.

I actually made this last week... I'm still waiting on my date, but my husband mentioned he was a little worried about what dinners would look like after my surgery since I love to cook. Anyway, on the list of my current goals is to start introducing him to some of the new foods we will be having without him knowing so it won't be added stress on him (and since he's a little over 6' and weighs 190 soaking wet... he can also drop 10 lbs by thinking he'd like to drop 10 lbs ;-) anyway, I'm not so lucky!) He loved it!!! It is pretty tasty and I added some extra veggies we needed to use up and it couldn't have been easier!

I think it is so wise of you to begin experimenting with things you both can eat and help him feel reassured that he isn't going to starve, lol, or have to eat weird. You are good wife. Hugs to you,

I have made this in the past, using white or yellow hominy, instead of corn. I wonder if hominy is ok to eat? Sure hope so!

Corn is strictly a filler food. Our bodies cannot digest it so it comes at just as it goes in. I absolutely LOVE taco Soup. I have been making it for years. I add a can of rotel tomatoes for some kick. Yummy yummy!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
