Jazzing up that Broth



Recommended Posts

I am on clears this week and am already a little bored, so I started playing with my spices. I was told I can use any spices that dissolve. Yesterday, at lunch, I added a drop of soy sauce to my soy ginger broth (Trader Joe's) and tody I will add a dash of curry. Last night, I took my Rachel Ray's chicken broth and added about 1/8 tsp rubbed sage and about the same amount of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. It tasted a little like Thanksgiving to me. This morning, I added a dash of cinnimon to my chicken broth and it was good!

Any other ideas?

My favorite was the seasoning packets from Papa John's. DH loves pizza and always ordered it, so one day I was bored on liquids and poured a packet into my chicken broth. Makes it spicy and full of flavor, was great. It's little granules of flavor, so no chunks of anything. They don't give them to you just-so, you have to ask for them.. but they were free. So if someone in family orders pizza from there, have them get you some packets. Nom nom!

I have to say, I tok the broth package out of a thing of Top Ramen and added hot Water and a teaspoon of butter and it gave it a little more richness and was pretty doggone good.

Also, another trick I use is curry powder in cottage cheese with a little sea salt OR cottage cheese and low sodium soy sauce. Yummy!!

i would add some coconut milk and curry with a little lemon grass, boil, remove the lemon grass and drink up.

i also would add a little cornstarch if i wanted to thicken it up a bit...any broth really. oh and hot and sour Soup broth is 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.

      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!!
