Ok SO I made a big pot of Chicken soup with Chicken, Carrots, Celery, and Some Potatoes in it. Im sitting here thinking and a thought came to me. How do I eat this? Do I eat the solids first, and then the liquid 30 minutes later or what?? It might sound crazy but I dont know. Can someone help me out. Who would ever think I would have this type of problem. LOL

You could eat the solids then wait 30 minutes to drink the liquid. Or you could eat the broth first and then eat the solids right after the liquid.

Or you could eat it normally and just realize it probably won't keep you full for very long.

My Dr. said to avoid soup because it is a liquid. I concentrate on the solids and eat very little of the broth. I usually make it so it is more stew than soup.

we were discouraged from soups because of that dilema. the only soup i eat is a black bean soup, but it's puree so not really solids in it. i treat it as a liquid.

I was going to addd some of my unflavored to it, so that it gave me more protein besides the chicken.

I usually just drink the broth first and then eat the solids. We can have broth, it'll just go towards your liquid goal. (which should be 64 oz a day).

I'm with Dee. I drink the broth--it funnels out quickly as do all liquids--then eat the solids.

I make a beef vegetable soup and since surgery I have made it more of a stew consistency. One thing is that I feel too full and uncomfortable with the diced potatoes (don't need the carbs either), so I substituted and added an extra can of red kidney beans for the protein along with the beef. Works wonderfully and don't miss the potatoes at all.
