Nel 189 Posted April 28, 2013 You put chicken and veggies in a pot and simmer FOREVER until it starts physically breaking down into flavored water. Season with salt and such. Then you pour it through a strainer or cheesecloth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoccerMomma73 1,867 Posted April 28, 2013 How do you make homemade broth Yup, what nel said. I use chicken (thighs are cheaper but have more fat than breasts), onion, celery, carrot, couple cloves of garlic, salt, a bay leaf, and whole pepper corns....add enough Water to cover, bring to a boil, lower heat down to a simmer then cook til veggies are mush. I save the chicken for other stuff and strain off the broth in a mesh strainer. Can be frozen for months. If you let it get cold in the fridge the fat solidifies on the top and you can skim it off with a spoon. I do the same thing when I make broth based Soups, just tastes so much better than the other!!!!

IChatman 24 Posted April 28, 2013 Thanks ladies is there anything else I can add to my shopping list besides broth to buy today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beana21 8 Posted April 28, 2013 Jello. Lots and lots of it. I was also permitted fat and sugar free pudding occasionally. I had miso Soup a couple times. Also stock up on Water flavorings, like Mio and Crystal Lite. As for Protein Shakes, GNC's Lean shakes are great. Low sugar, low fat, 25 grams of Protein each. chocolate and vanilla are tasty but I haven't met anybody who liked the strawberry flavor. Has a strange chemical taste.

Making broth using the ramen noodle seasoning is tasty but too much salt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinkycheeks 31 Posted April 28, 2013 My surgeon allows cottage cheese chewed very well and strained cream of whatever Soups during the full liquid stage, as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
