Eggdrop Soup, better than broth.

[BlueGirl1920 94]

I am over two weeks postop and have been craving eggs. Not something I expected to crave. I found my salvation in eggdrop Soup. Super easy to make and gives the sodium and some Protein needed after surgery. I hope that helps for those getting board of our limited options. Does anyone else have anything yummy to share?

Problem with egg drop Soup (or hot & sour soup which is my preference) is that the thickener is usually a starch. Tapioca, corn, or something like that. By it's very nature starch is all carbohydrate. Corn startch is about 90% simple carbs.

I just used Egg, chicken broth, and a little soy sauce. Not as thick but better than broth.

there’s just not enough of it to be a problem in egg drop soup.

I will echo the egg drop Soup recommendation.

OK, I'm puzzled here on day #8 post-sleeve. My program's nutritionist advocated eggdrop Soup for the Stage 2 liquid diet. But what about the eggs? Don't they count as solid? I tried to compromise and sorta ate around most of them, and I must admit tummy is happy despite having gotten some egg. (This is the Chinese take-out variety--we're out of broth here now.)

Egg is usually a soft food not a solid...unless hard boiled, guess.

Those not liking broth, have you tried Better Than Bouillon? It's very good. A can of cooking broth isn't. I also like the clear Soup from the Japanese restaurant.

Where can you find Better than Bouillon, is it universally available? I am not familiar,with the brand.

[AtlantaRed 651]

It is near the cans of broth, Soup bases, Knorr granular bouillon or cubes of bouillon. May do an online search to see where available.
