Soup-a-Woman 43 Posted September 13, 2011 The chicken with the addition of the egg-drop would kick up the Protein. Very good! Since I am getting sleeved soon (hopefully) I was wondering if you had Soups for the people at puree stage? You rock Soup-A-Woman!!! Thank you! I don't have any blended soups ready to publish yet, but I am working on an edamame blended Soup that will be great for Protein. I do think that if you know already you hate Protein shakes it wouldn't be a bad idea to make a couple different small batches of soups and freeze them before you have your surgery. You'll be ready to roll then, and you probably won't feel too much like making soup right after your surgery. Make SMALL batches and freeze in 1/2 cup portions. If you make 2 or 3 different kinds it will help cut down on tastebud boredom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawaii50 4 Posted September 14, 2011 Yummm!! I just printed the recipe, I am also a Soup-A-Holic!! This one doesn't seem to have too many carbs either, I am not familar with Orzo...but it can't be too much with only a half a cup for that many servings. Thanks for sharing and congrats on your YEAR anniversary! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soup-a-Woman 43 Posted September 14, 2011 Yummm!! I just printed the recipe, I am also a Soup-A-Holic!! This one doesn't seem to have too many carbs either, I am not familar with Orzo...but it can't be too much with only a half a cup for that many servings. Orzo is simply a rice-shaped Pasta. You can use rice in the Soup, but I think orzo stands up to freezing better. It won't turn as mushy. I always freeze my Soups, because I could never get it all eaten before they went off! Orzo To be honest, I don't pay that much attention to carbs. I haven't seemed to have any issues with "regular" food. I don't sit down and eat a loaf of bread, obviously, but if I have enough Protein in the meal, the carbs don't seem to matter that much. 1/2 cup of orzo has 62 carbs (Ronzoni brand) - so spread out over 20 servings of 1/2 cup each it's pretty minimal for the orzo itself. My husband loves this soup! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savinggrace 6 Posted September 14, 2011 Ice trays would work for the early sleeves. =) Just a little tip. I am actually researching a different way to get Protein, especially for our sisters and brothers that have gone through these surgeries. Honestly, I drink my shakes daily, but I must say they are getting harder and harder to choke down. My reason for looking into it is for an easier yet productive method for us all.
