BandDiva Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hey 'yall I was wondering, my husband went and bought me some soup and I was noticing it says add water or milk. Can we add milk? I was thinking Milk might be important in the cheddar cheese soup. (I would hate to eat watery cheese soup) LOL Thanks for letting me know! I am down 6 lbs since my surgery last Friday 10/10. Which, I expect it to maybe go up a little when I start on soups. But, I feel great! Just ready for something a little different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisem Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Yes, you may have milk in the creamy soup phase. Just nothing with lumps yet. Good luck, and congrats on your progress so far! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottonwoodAZ Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I added Skim milk to mine. I love the creamy soup phase so much better than the broth phase. It goes pretty quick from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittycat Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Skim milk has lots of protein and less fat...creamy soups have alot of fat already...enjoy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1rod47 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Creamy soups, what a treat. :good3: Don't forget the rule is, you must be able to drink it with a staw But you CANNOT drink it that way you must drink it from a cup or a bowl. I mention this because with the help of a blender you can make just about anything go through a straw. Any store bought or home made soup can be put in a blender. I have done this with chili, chunky clam chowed, Bean and ham soup and pea and ham soup. The rule is " IF YOU CAN'T DRINK IT , DON'T EAT IT." Don't be afraid to get creative. You deserve some flavor now. :-? :-? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandDiva Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Yep, I did the skim milk or the 2% milk too Oh yes! All I ever have in my house is skim milk. The ones that say milk or water, I am going to use water. But, there are some that say add milk. I will add the skim to those. Thanks everyone! I appreciate your input!

taras2girls Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 I suggest using a coffee mug for your soup. It stays hot, you don't eat as much, and it's kinda cozy. You can also visually see how much you should be eating at a time. Sometimes I refilled it, but usually just ate 1 cup as that was enough. Enjoy!! And yes, you might plateau since there is a lot of sodium in the creamy soups. Keep up the good work!! =D> Tara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I am still going to do broth too. I don't want to pig out on the creamy stuff. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
