This sounds SO GOOD! Is it from a can or homemade (gotta recipe?) :thumbup:

Bloo,

Here is the recipe for the chicken-white bean-green chili Soup.< /p>

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 of a chopped onion

2 minced garlic cloves

2 cups shredded chicken (I use rotisserie chicken but canned can be used)

1 small can green chilies - use 2 cans if you more heat in your soup

1 can white Beans, drained and rinsed

1 quart of low sodium chicken stock or broth

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

5 oz can of evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed milk)**

salt and pepper

-saute onion with olive oil in a large pot

-add remaining items except salt, pepper and evaporated milk

-bring to boil then reduce heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes

-add evaporated milk. simmer for 5 more minutes

-add salt and pepper to taste

-you can serve soup with a little shredded cheese on top for garnish

**I use evaporated milk to add a creamy texture to the soup without adding tons of fat and calories...you can use heavy cream if desired...you can also omit the milk all together if you don't like creamy Soups.< /p>

I freeze leftovers in individual serving sized containers and pull one out of the freezer when I don't feel like cooking.

my correction if not seen - 11grams of protein, not 1g:tongue2:

ellinda - i really don't count fat grams & never have since being banded. btw - these are 15g of fat p serving.

for me, i watch my calories / protein & thats about it. i allow for fattier foods (not all days) some days, so long as i stay close to my 1100 calories per day.

i love asparagus & your recp is very easy. i make an asaparagus salad:

bunch of aparagus, using 2/3's of the stalk cutting in inch pieces.

spread on a Cookies sheet with salt/peper & olive oil - bake 350 for about 10mins. i like a bit of crunch

boil 1 cup of ronzoni smart taste rotini (any kind will do)

when Pasta & aparagus is done i mix in a bowl along with 3/4c feta / 2 healthy tbsp of olive salad (get at sams club - has 10 diff kinds of olives in a oil/vinegar mixture) / 2tbs of lemon juice / tsp lemon zest / 1/4c greek salad dressing.... chill

      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.
