Ok, on my diet we can have one can of broth based soup with the chicken and noodles in it a day. Do you think I could make my own chicken noodle soup instead of the canned stuff???

I would. But questions like this are best answered by your surgeon or nutritionist, since they are aware of your medical history.

I think so. I (or my husband) made all soups from home recipes. They are much better than the canned stuff.

I would think home made would be better for you ..less salt and preservatives.

I would say go for the homemade soup. My post-op diet had canned broth and my nutritionist said I could substitute with real homemade broth (less sodium and preservatives). Post-op I was also able to puree the chicken and carrots in the mushie stage.
