Simple Broccoli soup



Recommended Posts

As a single parent I'm always looking to make things,with minimal ingredients, maximum taste...so here's something I made during my pre-op phase that was sooo tasty I froze it until I get to my pureed phase post-op (8 days to go)

Broccoli (I went with frozen because I wanted to make a lot)

1 can Cream of Celery (look for low fat/low sodium varieties if you want)

1 white or yellow onion diced

Salt n pepper

In your med or lrg saucepan saute onions in olive oil until soft, maybe 5-7 min

In the same pot, add broccoli, Water and boil your broccoli until soft, maybe 10 min

Pour off water

If they are soft enough you can mash them with a fork for big broccoli tidbits or pop them in the blender for puree

If you're going to puree, add abt 1/4-1/2 cup of cream of Celery before blending. *Taste, as you're adding cream of Celery, it can be very overpowering! Otherwise add to saucepan, salt/pepper to taste and enjoy!!

Thank you for posting this.. I am on day 3 of pre-op, but I am going to make this and freeze it like you did. Plus, I know my DS would love it also. I may have to make a double batch just in case [emoji6]

      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.
