It was quick and easy to make. Once you make homemade soups you never want to eat soup from a can again.
Shelly's Kidney Bean Soup 1 Yellow Onion, diced
2 Green Onions, diced
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Oregano
1/2 teaspoon Southwest Seasonings
2 (14 oz.) cans Red Kidney Beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14 oz.) can Chopped Tomatoes, with juice
1 (15 oz.) can Chicken Broth
1 1/2 cups Water
2 Tablespoons Fresh Cilantro
1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
a few twists of Black Pepper
Toppings:
Avocado, sliced
Cilantro
Shelly's Spicy Yogurt Dip
Saute onions till golden. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 20 minutes. Puree soup.
A groovy gadget like this works great or you can do it in batches in a blender. Garnish with yogurt dip, avocado and cilantro.Full of cholesterol lowering fiber, protein, iron. Oodles of vitamins. I love beans.

Hi Shelly,
What are Southwest Seasonings?
greetings
Claudia
Hey Claudia, In the spice section. It's blend usually made up of cumin, paprika, chili powder, cayenne, etc. Emeril makes one I often buy. If you Google it you can find make at home recipes too.

Love the recipes. Since surgery, I cannot stand the smell of canned soups. Everything is now made from scratch. Good thing I love to cook! I have been making the small crustless quiches since surgery also.
Sounds absolutely awesome!!! Been havnig some food issues with my band lately so I've been eating a lot of soup. Thanks for the new recipe/idea :0)

I love this!~ I just made a similar recipe Sunday in my crock pot but I added an old ham bone tat had been kicking around in the freezer since Thanksgiving or Christmas. That increased the protein a tad.
Thanks Shelly for sharing you blog with us.

Thank you so much for the time and effort that you put into your site. I found it about a week ago and I am addicted!!!!I am three months pot-op. I am so sick of cottage cheese. I have made 4 of your recipes , and they have been delish.You are an inspiration. Thank you!!! Kim mommashim@sbcglobal.net
Hi Shelly,
I'm 11 weeks out - do you remember what a typical "day in your pouch" would have been like at 11 weeks(ish) out. Thanks! Cindy
Thank you guys. I hope you enjoy it.

Cindy,
You know I actually have my menus from back then... they don't look a whole lot different from now really. Size is different of course. Now I do a cup of food then a 1/2 cup or less. I was cleared for everything as tolerated at 8 weeks.
Lets see (thanks to fitday.com)...
September 06 (I would have been 11 weeks right grr math in the AM LOL)
Typical Breakfasts: Protein Shake or Scrambled Eggs with Cheese or Omellets
Lunch: Crab Salad or Chicken Salad made w/ 1/2 Fage Greek Yogurt/Mayo, Chicken or Beef dipped in a Yogurt Dipping Sauce, Cold Cut Rollups, Leftovers.
Dinner: Casseroles, Chicken or Beef dipped in a Yogurt Dipping Sauce, Turkey Meatballs in sauces, Chili/Soups/Stews, Pastaless Lasagna/Manicotti
Snacks: Cheese sticks, Almonds, Yogurt, Cottage Cheese, I was big into making protein popsicles too wish I had figured out the protein ice cream thing that early on.
I dipped everything or made sure it was pretty saucy. Moisture was key for success with foods especially earlier on (but even now)
Hope this helps :)
