Hot & Sour Soup

[kayte819 95]

Just ate some from my local Chinese place. I ordered it vegetarian w/ a little extra egg for Protein. Seemed I could eat quite a bit (maybe 3/4 cup) & I don't feel like I'm going to throw up, which is RARE for me!! So, experts chime in here.......CONS???

If there aren't any than I highly recommend it

I regularly eat the packaged hot and sour egg drop Soup. The Soup itself is 60 calories per 2 cups and then add in the egg. I slowly drink about 1 cup. It's high in sodium, but it is a welcome warmth.

You have to watch the restaurants though. With out labels you really don't know what you're getting. It's probably fine. It will go right through you of course, but it always satisfies me for a long time.

I love this Soup and I have eaten a ton post op!!! The only con is the sodium..... but hey whatever works.

I went to a chinese buffet yesterday with my granddaughter. She ate from the buffet, I ordered a carry-out box, same price. My wife has a roux n y and we got 6 meals out of that one box. Not bad for $6.95.

I ate egg drop Soup for my first phase, was a big help. My first encounter with hot and sour was not pleasant. I think it was a combination of me eating too fast and the spiciness, it came back up. Could have been too early, too.

I love the chinese vegetables if I know I have my daily Protein covered. Some of the breaded, sauced up meat is a bit chewy, I have to eat them slow.

LOVE hot & sour soup! I couldn't tolerate it early on (too spicy) but now my sleeve loves it. I usually get chicken/snow peas/mushrooms and hot & sour Soup when I get Chinese - it lasts me at least 3-4 meals.
