help needed for ideas on soups and things like that??

[memphis83]

im going into hospital next week for an operation on my mouth, i will have half my mouth full of stitches for a week and doc has said very liquid foods for the duration, ive never made soups as ive not been a fan in the past, but now i need to change, i really dont like cheese and creamy sauces either!! so any ideas? ive never cooked with lentils but ive bought some in preperation!!!

Good luck, my DD had her tonsils out recently so lots of soup making.
try easy ones, chicken stock, can of creamed corn, cooked chicken breast chopped and when boiled add a whisked egg, takes 7 mins!
roast pumpkin, garlic & sweet potatoes was a hit too.

lots on here, go easy for a few days(hot spices) but lentils with spices and bacon is lovely.
Leek & potato too, its a meal in itself, literally, have you a blender?
best of luck

oh one more thing make some in advance and freeze as you wont feel that clever for the first few days and get some nice bread in too !

ooh thank you one with garlic sounds great, i plan on buying stuff today and make tomorrow to freeze so i have time to make mistakes and try again!

Leek and potato is very good, or watercress and potato (bit more peppery).

Roast butternut squash and red pepper (roast the pepper too, or use the pre-roasted ones out of a jar).

Curried lentil is great, and very filling.

Carrot and coriander is nice too.

Given that it's warmer (ok, not so much today!), a lighter pea and/or asparagus soup could be nice.

www.bbcgoodfood.com is pretty failsafe for recipes.

My faves are Delias Potato & leek soup

Curried butternut squash

Chinese chicken noodle
