My favorite is potato, I would give you the recipe, but I dont cook. Cheryl

LOL. That's okay. I have a really good potato soup recipe I learned when I worked in a hospital. The chef who taught it to me was a phenomenal cook! I add dill, green onions, bacon and sour cream to it.

ummm!! Sounds good. Can you share it, maybe I can get my man to make it for me. HE HE!! Cheryl

Okay, I found it here it is: (this is guestimating because I do it out of my head, I don't actually have it written down) white sauce 1/2 C. BACON GREASE (Strained to remove any browned particles, warmed) 1/8 cup flour 1 pint Half and Half [warm bacon grease, add flour, cook in bottom of pan until you have a paste and gradually add half and half until you have a thick white sauce] ------ add SLOWLY and whisk in in this order ( if you add broth too fast it will be lumpy whisk it constantly as you add it) 1 large can of chicken broth 10 -1/2 OZ CAN CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP 1 CUP CHARDONNAY (Optional) 1 pint SOUR CREAM (Room temperature) ------ use 1/4 CUP EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL and baste 8 MED RUSSETT POTATOES bake them until they are done scrape them out into liquid mixture ------ add 2 cups instant potatoes 2 MEDIUM ONIONS (diced and carmelized in a pan with 2 T olive oil) 1 cup bacon bits coarsely chopped 1/2 LB MOZZARELLA CHEESE (Grated)) 2 TSP GRANULATED GARLIC 2 TSP WHITE PEPPER 1 TSP SALT or to taste 1 tsp dill Garnish Toppings ( right before you serve) put some of the following on top . The amounts listed should be enough to use with the 1 1/2 gallons of soup this recipe makes 1/2 LB SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE (Grated) sour cream for dollops on top 1 BUNCH SHALLOTS (Chopped) 1/2 CUP BACON BITS (Crumbled) Serves 8-10 dinner sized portions (pre-op size) not low carb or low cal, but Yummy! Enjoy~~ Jaimee

Jaimee, My favorite was my mom's German Chicken and Dumplings. It is my kids' favorite too. 1 whole chicken boiled and removed from the bone.(save the broth) 2 cloves garlic 1 onion diced 4 or 5 carrots cut into pieces 2 or 3 potatoes pealed and chunked 1 lg can of chicken broth salt and pepper to taste The dumplings are what make it German I guess. You mix 2 eggs and then add flour to make a dough. Then you drop spoonfuls into the boiling soup. Continue to cook for 10 more minutes. Yummy but the dumplings are bad for us post ops. I can't wait to try your soup. Great question.
