Easy Pre-op and Post op Broth Idea - Recipe
Box broth is gross! LOL - so i have come up with an awesome recipe..and IT IS EASY..so dont skip this just because you think im about to give you a long hard recipe...
In a large soup pot put a tablespoon of butter... throw some whole mushrooms, rough chopped onions, rough chopped green onions, (these are my three fav..but u can also add leeks, squash, bellpeppers and anything else u like the flavor of)..saute it down with seasonings, (salt, pepper, greek seasoning, etc)... then pour 2 boxes of chicken broth, 2 cans of vegetable broth and 2 cans of french onion soup.. let it simmer for a while to get all that good vege flavor out.. then strain it.. OMG!! IT IS TO DIE FOR YUMMY!! My hubby likes snacking on the veges I strained out..
You can also go to a chinese resteraunt (ours happens to be a buffet) and ask for a quart of the wonton soup with no wontons.. it is $2 at ours for a quart.. and is yummy with the soy sauce while I'm working..
I keep a coffee mug with a sippy top on it at my desk at work all day of warm soup to sip on.. keeps the hunger away..
Also, now that my surgery is Monday I made a double batch of my 'soup' and froze the broth in ice trays... then put the 'ice cubes' of broth in a gallon zip lock bag. Each cube is approx one ounce...so when my hubby is caring for me, i wont have to eat that nasty box broth... he can thaw one block at a time...
I hope one of those soup tips helps someone..
