Homemade Veggie soup



Recommended Posts

The weather changed here in Vegas again & it has been raining. And I had a horrible dental appt this past Monday that has decided to keep giving me heck.....so I thought it sounded like a good day for some homemade veggie Soup. I'm running out of things that sound good but also that I should be eating. Instead of all the stuff I could eat but shouldn't. :)

I loves me some veggie soup! There's is nothing (except lima beans) you can't throw in there. Love it.

Hi Shelley,

I'm from Vegas too. I had made a huge pot of chicken veggie Soup a while ago and froze the extras in quart size ziplock bags. It was perfect when I got home tonight :-)

I just froze a huge baggie for another night and still have some in the pot. Leftovers tomorrow night I guess. I'll probably take it for my lunch tomorrow too.

Are you one of Dr Umbach's patients??

I'm an Umbach'er. I though he did a great job. Not forthcoming with information on his own, but will answer any question asked thoroughly.

I have those mason jam jars. The 8oz ones. They are perfect for storing Soups in and putting them in the freezer. On my way off to work, I grab one and by lunch, it is ready for the microwave.

Ohhh, you guys are inspiring me. I don't think I've ever had so much sodium in my life and it feels like I can't even pee! Some home made veggie Soup would be so much better. I'm so bloated today I couldn't get my knee high boots on. I even have the low sodium broth, it's just that between it and the Protein Powder there's still way more than I normally consume. I was even up a pound over my pre op weight yesterday. today i have a headache and it's either the sorbitol sweetener or the sodium (rolling eyes).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
