I liked Progresso or Amy's. Campbell's has too many additives for my taste. I also make Soup and freeze in single servings.

Hubby and I make Soup at home, just basic ones like Tomato, chicken and butternut squash and I freeze it in meal sized containers. Then if he fancies something I don't, I can have soup. I tend to have a lot of soup over the winter so its all okay by me :)

I love making my own Soup. one of my favorites is broccoli and cauliflower soup

boil some florets in chicken broth until they are tender, then puree it until smooth, salt and pepper to taste (I add a dash of hot sauce too)

My favorite soup from a restaurant is the tortilla soup from On the Border.

During my liquid phase, I used the IMAGINE brand Soups. They are sold at Whole Foods and Sprouts in SoCal. Some were low sodium and so yummy!

You can spruce up chicken broth with some curry powder or some Italian seasoning...makes it taste less like canned Soup.< /p>

Now do you guys eat the veggies in the Soups? I know not the meats even though I am allowed so chicken

During liquid stage I Puréed and strained soups. During pureed Stage I pureed them but didn't strain. Soft food stage I just ate the Soup as it came. I added unflavored Protein powder to every soup at every stage.

Lobster bisque, broccoli cheese, split pea, wonton, hot and sour, clam chowder, beef barley, potato leek, French onion, Thai coconut, cream of asparagus, Mexican tortilla, black bean and kale, southwestern vegetable, bean with ham, etc.

Amy's, Pacific, Imagine and Progresso are my favorite brands.

Sorry, I just cannot handle canned Soups and I really want to know what is going into my food.

It really is worth it to make them from homemade and pop them into the freezer. I cannot tell you how I went from an occasional cup of Soup to eating it at least every other day.

I look up recipes on Pinterest for soup and tweak with what I like or can have.

This week I made Ina Gartens Italian wedding soup with chicken meatballs. Oh my goodness so worth it. You can leave the Pasta out or do what I did and cut the Pasta recipe by half and use whole wheat pasta.

chicken tortilla soup without the tortillas, I just posted this recipe on Lipstick ladies favorite meals

Cauliflower chowder with bacon - recipe on Pinterest

Chicken vegetable

Lasagne soup - I am making this weekend for the first time and using zucchini instead of lasagne noodles. - recipe on Pinterest

Thanks everyone!!! Once I'm allowed sausage and spinach/kale my boyfriend likes Zappa Toscana from Olive Garden so I will make a healthier version of that and maybe I'll try a couple others!

      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.
