Share Your Soup, Stew, or Chili Recipe!



Recommended Posts

There will still be some hot days this year, but the weather is changing. The cooler days and chilly evenings can trigger cravings for comforting, hearty food, but it does not need to come at the expense of your weight loss surgery diet.

Soups, stew, and chili can be healthy and filling comfort foods. You can make big batches ahead of time and store the extras. I also like them because they are super flexible; you can change the recipe to make them with almost any ingredients you have on hand.

I like them all, but I think stews are my favorite. They are less watery than Soup, and more comforting to me than chili. I like just a simple stew with leftover cooked chicken, canned tomatoes, and diced veggies, all cooked in broth. You can make it thicker by adding Greek yogurt when you serve it.

What kind of Soup, stew, or chili do you like to make that fits into your weight loss surgery diet but also hits the spot in terms of satisfaction and taste?

I make recipes up as I go and love experimenting but anyone who likes this can make it to their taste. My husbands favorite is a crab bisque. It is loaded with lots of Fresh crabmeat, FF milk, white wine, Old Bay seasoning to taste, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, mild cheddar cheese and a little hot sauce for kick. I love winter foods.

I found a low-fat pumpkin Soup I plan to make tomorrow, in keeping with the season.

I'm Asian Pacific islander and almost always make a tamarind base Soup. Very tangy :). I add whatever vegetables I have but usually napa cabbage or bak choy, chopped eggplant, tomatoes, onions, garlic and/or ginger. The main recipe is called "Sinigang", and some put pork and others put fish in it. It's very versatile.

P.S. It's super low calorie/carb since it's tamarind fruit base broth.

      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.
