So I have been on the full liquid diet a week and a half. For one of my meals I have strained cream Soup (potato, tomato, mushroom, french onion). Let me just say, that rotation is getting pretty tired already.

Well, the other day I was at walmart and they have some Soups there that are a bit fancier than the canned ones - "sam's choice". I got the braised beef and mushroom soup... cooked it then poured it through the strainer.... OMG... best meal I have had since before surgery. It actually had some flavor! It wasn't too bad on the nutrients either. I had picked up a butternut squash soup but they put brown sugar in that one... so stay away.

Anyway, It made my day so I had to share incase my fellow new sleevers are having some soup fatigue

When I was on strained cream soups, I literally went down the soup aisle of my grocery store and bought every single kind of cream soup they had. My favorites ended up being Campbell's Condensed Cream of Shrimp and Progresso Chicken Cheese Enchilada. It was also always a treat to go to the hot soup bar my grocery store has in its prepared food section and get some Buffalo Chicken Chowder!

In the puree phase, try homemade soups and blend them down if necessary. I liked making a homemade gazpacho soup and making it a little spicy.
