Soup and smoothie recipes please!?

My doctor put me on an all-liquid diet for the next couple weeks or so while a tear in my stomach lining heals. I'd prefer to make something rather than just buy canned soup. Does anyone have any good soup or smoothie recipes I can make that don't have meat, potatoes, or carrots? I can use the crockpot too. If anyone else has been on a dr-ordered liquid diet and has any other recipes or food ideas, that'd be great too! Thanks in advance!Soup and smoothie recipes please!?

Hm. Can you use meat to flavor the broth?


If so-boil a 3-4 lbs of chicken with carrots, green pepper, canned tomatoes with juices, green beans, and whatever else you like for a few hours.


Remove the meat and veggies that you can't eat, and sip the broth. It will have protein and plenty of vitamins.





Smoothies:


I use 12 oz. yogurt, 1/4-1/2 c. of milk, and a tb. or two of flaxseed.





I hope your belly heals quickly, I would hate to be on a liquid diet!





Oh-you may want to get yourself some Slim Fast or Ensure to make sure you get all your necessary nutrients as well!
