I will start my stage 2 tomorrow and I am so looking forward to a delicious warm cream of carrots, asparagus, mushrooms or any vegetable... I am not much of a cook but have searched the web and they all mention butter and heavy cream... any subs? has anyone used greek yogurt on veggie soups? Any ideas or recipes or tips will be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Marisela

Heavy cream is low in carbs so it isn't too bad for you. You could use milk or laughing cow cheese wedges for flavor I like to make cauliflower and cook it then put it in blender or food processor and add all the fixings you would for mashed potatoes. They are delicious and a great substitute to mashed potatoes since potatoes are high in carbs...Other options is too use like cream of chicken soup for recipes. I do use real butter and milk for my cauliflower and use mrs. dash seasoning.

Try eggface's website. She has lots of WLS friendly recipes.

I make butternut squash soup

One squash cubed

3 apples peeled and cubed

1 small onion

1 can of low sodium vegetable stock

Cook on low until soft

Then with a hand mixer to purée right in the pot. If you don't have one of the high speed hand mixers, transfer to a food processor or blender.

Then back in the soup pot add

2 Tbsp of reduced fat peanut butter

1/4 cup of lime juice

1/2 cup of fresh cilantro (chopped) I just use scissors

Cook for 10 more minutes and your all set.. Easy and so good

Hardest part is cutting the squash so I buy the precut if my hubby's not around ... Enjoy!

I don't like cauliflower for the fact that while cooking, it smells like trash. But do you think that when cooked how u say above that someone could enjoy these vs mashed potato? I know sometimes it takes the right way to make something taste good
