Quicky n Healthy Potato Soup



Recommended Posts

Last night I made this and it was quick, good and healthy.

1 can of ff/low sod. chicken stock

3 tablespoons of cornstarch

1 can ff evaporated milk

1 onion

5ish potatoes (small to med size. adjust if needed)

handful shredded carrots, chopped

1 celery stalk, finely chopped

s &p

*water and/or skim milk if needed*

toppings: cheese (part skim) and/or bacon/turkey bacon if you want

Saute chopped onion, celery and carrots for about 4 minutes on med. heat. Meanwhile, peel and chop potatoes. Throw them in the pot and cover with chicken stock. I needed to put a splash of Water on top to cover the veggies. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes (covered).

Meanwhile, put about 1/4 cup of the milk in a bowl and whisk in the cornstarch one tablespoon at a time. Add to the pot. Stir. bring to a boil and add the remaining milk. Season the Soup. I used a hand blender to blend the soup. You don't have to though (although it did make it very creamy).

Add toppings if you want them.

This took me about 20 minutes.

      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.
