french onion count as clear liquid?

So I have to start clear liquids Saturday.  I was wondering if that french onion soup they have would be okay----take out any onions of course.  What did you guys have for the clear liquids for 2 days?  Were you starving?  I am pretty sure I can't have protein clear liquids---just like juice, broth, water, jello.  I can have popsicles right?

I didn't reply yesterday since we have different surgeons, and their requirements are different - but I don't see why you can have the broth strained from the onion soup - most onion soup bases are beef broth. Candace
