Re: questions about the chicken soup on page 91

[Guest guest]

hi

for those who have trouble digesting - sometimes pureeing the veg will help,

chopping should be fine

adding 2 large onions - personally i would roughly chop them, if at early stages

of diet then yes i would remove them, if at the right stage for them for them

leave them in

I'm trying to make my first batch of chicken soup. I'm using the recipe on page

91 of the tenth aniversary edition of BTVC.

I have a couple questions:

Is there any reason why I have to puree the carrots? Is it okay to just chop

them in the soup, so that it will be like stew?

It says to add 2 large onions, but it doesn't say to chop them up. Am I just

supposed to add them whole? Then, at the bottom of the recipe, it says not to

use the onions, parsley and celery at the start of the diet, so am I supposed to

take them out after simmering the soup for 4 hours, or am I not supposed to be

using them at all at this point?

Thanks in advance,

When you say remove them, do you mean to put them in initially, and then

after 4 hours of simmering, to take them out? or not to put them in at all?

hi its up to you

what i used to do when the boys could eat barely anything was cook up a broth

will all the veggies i wanted but remove them before it camt making the soup -

it was just a way of getting some nutrients without actually giving them the

food

so i would simmer for 4 hours then remove

I strain, the soup and put the chicken aside so it can have the bones removed.

The onions

can be pureed and will thicken gravy or sauce if you are beyond the intro. I

also like to

skim the fat from the soup and puree all the vegetables and chicken together.

One member suggests removing the chicken after two hours so it is easier to use

in other

dishes. Return the bones to the soup if doing that.

Later on the diet, you can try making the soup with squash instead of carrots.

You will get

a good squash soup well flavored with the chicken stock. Add ginger and nutmeg

and a bit

of cinnamon, also a pat or two of butter if you can use it and are not Kosher.

So, you basically have a pureed soup? I never thought of that.

I'm not sure how badly damaged my gut is. I just left everything in the

soup, although it is all very soft since I simmered it for over 4 hours.

I've been eating it with everything left in (I didn't puree anything,

because I wanted to see how I'd do on it this way).

As far as I can tell, I'm doing fine on it this way. Stools are fine, etc.

(sorry if TMI)

Are stools the only way to tell how one is doing on the diet? If so, what is

the perfect stool?

I puree both the onions and carrots. It makes the

soup a bit thicker, more flavorful and easier to

digest. I prefer it.
