Recommendations for low-fat creamy soups

[EndlessGoals#2018 46]

Hi everyone. 5 day post-op and feeling better. I’m on the full liquid stage and I keep hearing I can have low-fat creamy Soups. However, I’ve been looking and can’t seem to find any. And also not sure if I should be worrying about number of calories, or fat, or just what has the most Protein. Any recommendations on possible recipes or ideas of what everyone has had would be great! Really trying to venture out a little bit - all I’ve beben having has been Water, a little bit of Protein Drinks, and popsicles. Haven’t really wanted anything else. But I do think I need to up my calories a little bit.

Thank you all! I love reading everyone’s comments and successes!!!

Don’t be concerned with low-fat at this point. After you move to regular food then watch what you eat. But in the early stages you’ll be deprived of needed fat & calories anyway. Enjoy your soups!

Aldi has a line of low-fat cream Soups, I think Campbell does too. Low-fat means easier on a healing tummy. Unfortunately your choices are cream of chicken, cream of potato, and cream of mushroom. Don’t forget to strain first!

I used the Progresso Light Soups. If you do the new england clam chowder, strain before and after (the little bits of clams were nasty) watch sugar more than fat. Even if natural sugar. The Tomato basil (my favorite) gave me dumping syndrome. Some may not have the symtoms! Gl

Thank you! This whole ting is daunting. It’s hard to get rid of old habits of being obsessed with counting fat and calories and just focusing on eating at all. Thank you for the advice!

Thank you! Was just at ALDI the other day and forgot to look. Will be going back today.
