Gastric Sleeve White Bean Soup With Extra Protein And Bone Broth Recipes

Steps:

• In a 4 quart saucepan, over medium high heat, cook olive oil, onion, carrot, celery and potato until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add chicken broth, pepper and water; increase heat to high and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
• Increase heat to high; stir in beans with their liquid and pasta and heat to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until pasta is done, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in escarole until heated through.

Steps:

• Heat oil in pan, if using pancetta or bacon add to pan now, add onion and cook till transclucent and fat is rendered from bacon/pancetta, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, add the carrots, thyme, cayenne seeds and cook for about 2 minutes minutes, then add the chopped Escarole till wilted and.
• add the broth and beans and tomatoes, if using pepperoni instead of bacon or pancetta, add that now. Simmer for 15 minutes, add the zuchini or squash, red pepper and cook till soft. When done stir in parsely and basil leaves and parmesan cheese -- add salt if needed at this point.
• Puree the soup if you are on 1st stage of soft foods. Eat it like it is after that stage. It is filled with fiber, protein, good carbs, good fat and phytonutrients. The bone broth is a good gut healer. Since it has gelatin in it, it will thicken when cooled but is easily heated back to soupy consistency. This was my go to recipe for gastric sleeve patients, they seem to tolerate it very well.
