need some recipes!!
Ok, I am 6 days post op, and I am hungry. Yes, I am hungry. I eat with no problems. I do only eat when I am hungry and until I am full, but I am on a pureed diet for the next 4 weeks. A girl can only eat so much pudding, broth, baby food. Anyone have any recipes to share that I could make to eat in this time period? I love soup, but I'm really sick of broth. I cannot have soup with "pieces" of anything in it, so I would have to puree it. I am not a fan of soup from a can because I can still taste that "canny" taste. Anyone have anything to add?
Thanks so much

Be all you can be, not what someone else says you can. 
My favorite thing to eat on pureed foods was ricotta cheese with a little spaghetti sauce and shredded parmesan on top. It tastes like lasagna but no noodles.
I also liked refried beans with a little taco sauce and shredded cheddar on top.
What kind of soup do you normally like if you don't like canned soup? Homemade soup is not that hard to make. Soup usually freezes well, too, so you could make a big pot, puree some to eat for now and freeze some for later.
Pureed chili is good, too.

Gosh, there are only so many things you can do with pureed foods.
I make lots of home-made chili and soups.
You can puree them all. The one exception is Campbell's tomato soup-
I love it. For protein I add baby food pureed chicken...can't taste it in the
soup and it adds protein. You can also puree beans or tofu to add to
soups that need extra protein in them, unless you want to purchase
and add unflavored protein. So I say make your favorite chowders
and soups with lots of flavor, puree them and add extra protein when
you need to. I found that I was mainly missing the extra flavor of real
foods more than the texture. Most broths etc. don't have all that much
flavor...and you can only eat so much "sweet" stuff. Also try the Greek
yogurt with sugar-free jello mix added and a touch of milk to thin it.
You can add cheesecake or banana pudding mix to plain Greek
yogurt and it has lots of protein. I'm thinking if you can have pudding,
you can probably have Greek yogurt. Also maybe you could have
fat-free refried beans, thinned a bit, with cheese and enchilada
sauce on top. Good luck!
