Taco Soup



Recommended Posts

I have used the bag of Morningstar Soy crumbles for things like burritos, tacos etc. It is very tasty and my picky husband had no idea that it wasn't ground beef. I think the bag was around $3.50.

How many weeks out can we have this

You could purée your serving or it would be good in soft phase.

I also was told no corn but would sub diced tomatoes as well.

I made this tonight to Celebrate my first dinner with pureed foods! Made it for my dad, sister and boyfriend. I used 3 cans of Rotel tomatos with peppers instead of corn, sauteed onions after cooking the 93% lean and used 2 cans black Beans. 2 packets of taco seasoning, 1 of powder ranch. Made brown rice for everyone else and cooked it on the stove (didn't have time to slow cook) I pureed a cup for myself after adding unflavored Protein powder....YUM!!!!! Added non fat cheddar cheese to 1/4 cup and had no dumping or anything. 3.9 grams of fat, 181 calories and 13.7 grams of protein for 1 cup sans Protein Powder.< /p>

I made this too...did black Beans x2 and a can of navy beans, and a can of diced no salt added tomatoes. The kids and I loved it! This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing! This will be a great low cal dinner for fall.

I actually made this last week... I'm still waiting on my date, but my husband mentioned he was a little worried about what dinners would look like after my surgery since I love to cook. Anyway, on the list of my current goals is to start introducing him to some of the new foods we will be having without him knowing so it won't be added stress on him (and since he's a little over 6' and weighs 190 soaking wet... he can also drop 10 lbs by thinking he'd like to drop 10 lbs ;-) anyway, I'm not so lucky!) He loved it!!! It is pretty tasty and I added some extra veggies we needed to use up and it couldn't have been easier!

I think it is so wise of you to begin experimenting with things you both can eat and help him feel reassured that he isn't going to starve, lol, or have to eat weird. You are good wife. Hugs to you,

I have made this in the past, using white or yellow hominy, instead of corn. I wonder if hominy is ok to eat? Sure hope so!

Corn is strictly a filler food. Our bodies cannot digest it so it comes at just as it goes in. I absolutely LOVE taco Soup. I have been making it for years. I add a can of rotel tomatoes for some kick. Yummy yummy!

      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.
