bouillon or consomme
Fresh strained chicken stock would be classified as a clear soup

A stock cube dissolved in water would be clear soup Its just water like soup really. Miso soup is another example

thanks again ferita - I am dreading going without my huge amounts of fruit, salad and vegetables!I could starve to death - well perhaps not!

Clear soup is water boiled with something for flavour.
This can be meat (beef, chicken or whatever you fancy), or bones plus veges and herbs.
Then you strain the solids out and eat them later when allowed - and drink the broth.

thanks uli - glad it is only one day!It must be horrid to have to eat like that on a daily basis.Although I suppose it would reduce the shopping bill.

Thanks again ferita and uli - I did what you suggested and coped! Would not want to do it on a regular basis.'Procedure' at 3.00 pm so not long before proper food.I never thought I would crave lettuce!

Good luck with whatever "procedure" nfh1 - and even better luck for a very good outcome! Hope all will be well.

Hey nfh1, I wondered if that was what your procedure was, chances are if you have one you may have a few follow ups I know my partner has had them.I bought him some tom yum style clear soups from the supermarket and removed the noodles just to make it a bit more interesting than the standard beef broth.Generally, as I understand it, with the procedure the sedation tends to remove most of your memory of the situation too.I hope all goes well

Yes - it was done this afternoon and I can only remember bits and pieces - all sounds quite positive, fingers crossed.Biopsies taken and signs of colitis but as my Mum has Colon Cancer and Dad has bowel Cancer that all sounds pretty damn good to me!
Thanks very much for your good wishes and I will remember the soups from the supermarket - the diet was very restrictive!
