I liked Progresso or Amy's. Campbell's has too many additives for my taste. I also make Soup and freeze in single servings.

Hubby and I make Soup at home, just basic ones like Tomato, chicken and butternut squash and I freeze it in meal sized containers. Then if he fancies something I don't, I can have soup. I tend to have a lot of soup over the winter so its all okay by me :)

I love making my own Soup. one of my favorites is broccoli and cauliflower soup

boil some florets in chicken broth until they are tender, then puree it until smooth, salt and pepper to taste (I add a dash of hot sauce too)

My favorite soup from a restaurant is the tortilla soup from On the Border.

During my liquid phase, I used the IMAGINE brand Soups. They are sold at Whole Foods and Sprouts in SoCal. Some were low sodium and so yummy!

You can spruce up chicken broth with some curry powder or some Italian seasoning...makes it taste less like canned Soup.< /p>

Now do you guys eat the veggies in the Soups? I know not the meats even though I am allowed so chicken

During liquid stage I Puréed and strained soups. During pureed Stage I pureed them but didn't strain. Soft food stage I just ate the Soup as it came. I added unflavored Protein powder to every soup at every stage.

Lobster bisque, broccoli cheese, split pea, wonton, hot and sour, clam chowder, beef barley, potato leek, French onion, Thai coconut, cream of asparagus, Mexican tortilla, black bean and kale, southwestern vegetable, bean with ham, etc.

Amy's, Pacific, Imagine and Progresso are my favorite brands.

Sorry, I just cannot handle canned Soups and I really want to know what is going into my food.

It really is worth it to make them from homemade and pop them into the freezer. I cannot tell you how I went from an occasional cup of Soup to eating it at least every other day.

I look up recipes on Pinterest for soup and tweak with what I like or can have.

This week I made Ina Gartens Italian wedding soup with chicken meatballs. Oh my goodness so worth it. You can leave the Pasta out or do what I did and cut the Pasta recipe by half and use whole wheat pasta.

chicken tortilla soup without the tortillas, I just posted this recipe on Lipstick ladies favorite meals

Cauliflower chowder with bacon - recipe on Pinterest

Chicken vegetable

Lasagne soup - I am making this weekend for the first time and using zucchini instead of lasagne noodles. - recipe on Pinterest

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
