What Soups are you guys eating? I'm not into making my own just for me my family not big on soups. I'm on the soft stage gastric bypass had my surgery 10/7 and can start solids in a week and half. So I tried Campbell's Soup creamy shrimp and mushroom boring!

I love love love soup.... some of my fav.

Broccoli and cheese from Applebees, Tortilla from Chili's (i tell them no chicken), Wendy's chili is a good one. cream of crab is good. Veggie-beef Soup (i don't eat the meat).

try those

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

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

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>

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.

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!
