Has Anyone Made Pumpkin Soup



Recommended Posts

:rolleyes:I am in my 3rd week after Lap Banding. I am on soft diet, yogurt,sf pudding, sf Jello, thin creamed Soups, protein shakes.< p>I bought a can of pumpkin and would like to make pumpkin Soup. Has anyone made pumpkin soup? Help!!!!:rolleyes

I make a great pumpkin soup that is sweet yet savory. It is Emeril's recipe. Google it by typing in Emeril pumpkin soup. It uses a chicken stock base and has Peanut Butter in it (as a thickener), so make sure it is the right recipe. I took it to a bonfire one year and served it in an actual pumpkin. YUM!

Oh yes, I take a carton of Velish pumpkin Soup or some homemade pumpkin soup (cut up a butternut pumpkin - you guys call it butternut squash I think - chicken stock, onion, its too easy) and add a huge dollop of Peanut Butter, some sour cream and a good amount of curry powder. I got that recipe here and it is sooooooo good. I make it all the time, it'd be perfect for thicker liquids.< /p>

No, but I love it. I went on a cruise for my preop diet...knew I'd crack if I tried to do it at home...being a food addict.

The first night at dinner, we had pumpkin Soup for the soup. WOW! I loved it. So I had 3 bowls, instead of the main course.

I guess I need to get a recipe for that one!

Lessenless, Thank you for the tip about the black bean/pumpkin Soup. I went to that site, made a copy and made the soup last nite. Very, very good and interesting--kind of a southwest-mex type soup. Loved it and I will be making it again I'm sure.. Victoria52

Ok - OMG - I had this for the first time the other day and it was SOO good. Nice and hearty, but more like a dessert.</.

It was at our local organic grocery store. The listed ingredients were "pumpkin, heavy whipping cream" but there was other stuff in it, I could see the seasonings & seeds or whatever they were.

I went back the same day and bought a big container to take home for dinner (it was the Soup on the salad bar). They haven't had it since. :)

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
