When I couldn't face another protein shake day, I drank Swanson Sipping Broths, 45 calories and 9 grams of protein. When I was really craving something more "solid" I mixed Healthy Request Cream of Chicken with 1% milk, heated it and strained the chunks out of it, Once, when I felt I was going mad, I had my son go to Panera and get the Summer Corn Choder, which I blended and strained...yum!
