Required consistency
It’s not for nothing that diet soup is called slimy. Visually, it looks like jelly and has a very delicate and uniform consistency. There should not be a single, even the smallest, particle of solid food in such a soup, as this can mechanically damage the inflamed walls of the stomach or intestines.
Slimy soups are concoctions of various grains that resemble thick cream. The taste of the dish is weak; the aroma of some kind of cereal, milk or egg is only vaguely felt.

- to get a rich, aromatic dish, add as many spices, herbs and favorite seasonings as possible;
- Parsley root will help add a special piquancy to the dish. It should be washed, crushed, and then added to the soup somewhere in the middle of cooking;

How to cook slimy soups?
Any cereal for soup can be used, depending on the preferences of the sick person. First, it is poured into a pan and washed under waste water. Next, pour 250 - 600 grams of water into the cereal and put it on the fire. After boiling, reduce the gas pressure and cook for approximately 1 hour. Cooking time depends on the type of cereal. Rice should be cooked for the longest time, and semolina will take less time.
Dietary mucous soups cook faster if you grind the cereal in a coffee grinder before cooking. To do this, it is washed, then dried in the oven at a low temperature, poured in small portions into a coffee grinder and brought to the state of flour. Now you can cook soup from it. Doctors advise using this method also because this way not only the decoction of the cereal, but also crushed grains gets into the soup. The dish becomes more satisfying and contains more nutrients, which is necessary for the recovery of patients after surgery.

From Hercules
This dish contains only 30 kilocalories per 100 g. It will help you lose weight, but at the same time you will feel full.
Ingredients:
- onion – 1 pc.;
- rolled oats - 1 tbsp.;
- carrots – 1 pc.;
- tomato – 1 pc.;
- salt;
- low fat milk;
- greenery.
Step 1. Fill a saucepan with about 2 liters of cold water. You need to immediately pour rolled oats there. The cereal should heat up slowly, so use low heat. When the water boils, reduce the heat to low. Let the soup simmer for a while.
Step 2 : Peel and chop the onion. If you don't like it, don't cut it - add the whole onion, then you can throw it away. Peel and cut the carrots, you can grate them on a coarse grater.
Step 3. When the soup boils a little more, add the tomato chopped in a blender, from which you must first remove the skin. Boil the soup a little more. Turn it off and let it sit.
Step 4: Add a little milk at the end. This soup is best served with fresh herbs and croutons, but you can omit them if you do not want to increase the calorie content of the dish.
Serving soup
Soups for diet number 1 are served warm. The temperature of the dish should not be less than 55 degrees and above 62 degrees. If cereal was prepared, then after complete boiling it is filtered through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. The soup should consist of one decoction; there is no need to press hard or rub the cereal itself through a sieve. If you cooked a dish from semolina, then this procedure is not necessary, since it is already small.
The resulting dietary soup consists of cereal gluten, as well as gelatinized starch.
After the mucous mass has been strained through a sieve, the broth must be put back on the fire and brought to a boil again, and then additionally put in a water bath. To do this, prepare a pan of boiling water and insert a bowl of soup into it so that the bottom does not touch the water.
Food for weight loss
To lose weight, nutritionists recommend cutting out carbohydrates and eating as much protein as possible. Of course, for a while you should forget about sweet, fatty, smoked and overly salty foods. In general, you should consume as little salt as possible, because it retains moisture in the body.
You should drink at least 2-3 liters of water per day. It is important not to forget about the first courses. Of course, you can’t eat the usual borscht and rich soups on a diet, but it’s quite possible to do something light.
To get a dietary dish, you do not need to use bones, fatty meat, potatoes and other ingredients that are harmful to losing weight for cooking soups. Oatmeal soup, which is very beneficial for the body, can be an excellent lunch.
Oatmeal is found in almost every home, and its benefits for the body are invaluable. Cereals contain a lot of fiber, which improves intestinal function. Other beneficial microelements in oatmeal help the body function properly.
Oatmeal soup contains very few calories and is great for those who want to lose weight. It is best to eat this dish at lunch, because oatmeal contains carbohydrates that must be used by the body before you fall asleep.
How to Increase the Nutritional Value of Soup
There are several different ways to make slimy soup more filling:
- Before boiling, grind the cereal so that in addition to gluten, boiled cereal flour also gets into the dish.
- Add butter before serving to the patient.
- Add milk.
- Make the egg-milk mixture.
Let's consider how such a mixture is prepared. Whisk the yolk of a chicken egg with hot milk. You can use cream. If such an additive is added to the soup, do not bring it to a boil when reheating. Due to the high temperature in the first dish, flakes may appear from the egg curdling; you will have to filter it again through a sieve and, as a result, the product used will not get into the dish. The finished soup can be lightly salted or sweetened immediately before use by adding a little sugar.
Recipe using rice cereal
Slimy rice soup is a satisfying dish that is healthy for the stomach and intestines. It can be prepared from whole grains, but it cooks faster from ground flour.
To prepare, prepare 40 grams of rice, 300 grams of clean water and 5 grams of butter.
Before putting it into boiling water, the rice must be sorted and rinsed under waste water. Cook the porridge until softened. This may take about an hour. Then take a fine sieve and rub the resulting broth through it. Large particles of grains should not get into the soup. Next, the slimy soup needs to be brought to a boil again and a little salt. Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving to a sick person. Don't forget to add a piece of butter.
Barley soup with added egg-milk nutrient mixture
To prepare this dietary dish you will need:
- 600 or 700 ml water;
- 40 grams of pearl barley;
- 150 ml milk;
- half a yolk;
- 5 grams of butter.
Before cooking, cereals must be rinsed under waste water. Place in a saucepan and add the required amount of water. After boiling, the cereal is cooked over low heat until the pearl barley is completely cooked. Then remove the soup from the stove and strain the mucous broth through a sieve. Put it back on the fire and bring to a boil. Separately, you need to make a lezon, that is, a milk-egg mixture. The milk needs to be heated, but not brought to a boil, and gradually pour in the egg, stirring all the time. Then mix everything with pearl barley broth and add a piece of butter before serving.
