Soup's On!



Recommended Posts

I love soup! I have always been a Soup lover and have fallen deeper in love since having RNY surgery.

I made the following soup(s) tonight, Sunday night and will be making the third one on Friday night.

Sharing is caring!

Low Carb Avgolemeno (Greek chicken, Lemon & Egg Soup)
INGREDIENTS
  • 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 10 cups chicken stock or broth
  • 3 eggs
  • ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups cooked spaghetti squash
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Add the chicken and broth to a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. In a medium bowl whisk the eggs and lemon juice together until frothy. Slowly whisk 2 cups of hot stock into the egg mixture - don't just dump it in or you'll end up with scrambled eggs! Once the stock has been incorporated into the egg mixture, add back to the pot. Stir in the spaghetti squash and gently reheat the soup if necessary - don't bring to a boil or the eggs may curdle. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese (optional).

    Thanks, I'll do the math and cut this down for one, but it sounds great. :-)

    I actually cook big batches of Soups I know I can freeze. It is always nice to have a few handy in a pinch on busy days. I also take some to work and make sure an elderly neighbor gets some of everything I make.

    :)

    thanks the OP must be cooking for an army!!

        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.
