Liquid-Safe "Chili" recipe - check it out!!
I love southwest cuisine and I've been soooo bored with chicken broth, protein drinks, and diluted juice. I needed MORE!! According to my surgeon's post-op handbook, I can puree some items as long as I thin them A LOT and STRAIN THEM before consuming. Here's what I came up with:
MOCK CHILI - liquid style
1/2 C black beans (with some juices from can)
1/2 C tomato & red pepper soup (plain tomato will do)
1/2 C home made chicken stock (canned will be OK if that's all u have)
chili powder, cumin powder, onion powder, salt
Garnish: dollop of sour cream or sqeeze of lime (or both!)
Add all ingredients to small counter-top blender or food processor. The powders and salt are to your personal taste... a few dashes of each will do to start with. Blend for 45-60 seconds til creamy smooth. Taste small amt to see if you need any more seasoning. Once finished, run mixture through fine mesh strainer to remove bean skins. Makes 2 servings (approx. 1/2 C each). Place one serving in your favorite mug and heat in microwave for 1 minute. If it has been chilled in fridge, it may need additional time. After heating, add small dollop of sour cream or squeeze of lime and mix in for taste. ENJOY!

Yah, I know... tolerance is the real test.
I felt fine. Full, satisfied and grateful I had something else to eat other than chicken broth and nasty vanilla protien drinks. Of course, a bit gassy later, but nothing out of the ordinary. I ate very slowly. It was cold by the time I was half way through.
hope you like it.
