Question:
What constitutes cream soup

I can have cream soup on my pre-op liquid diet. I am a little confused. Does that mean cream of mushroom, broccoli, chicken, etc., are okay even though they have little solids? Do I need to strain them. My diet instructions only said cream soups.    — dasie (posted on November 2, 2009)

pre-opt you shouldn't have to strain,now the first few weeks after surgery you do.

My list also says cream soups but it says lowfat... Campbells makes healthy request that are 98% fat free. They have chicken, celery, mushroom & tomato that I have found. Pre-op ...no straining. Post Op strain. Hope this helped.

pre op they are good out of the can. post op strain or blenderize - that's what I do especially of the chunks are chicken or seafood - more protein!
