Instant Pot Parsnip Soup That Is Bariatric Friendly
My very first evening meal following Gastric bypass surgery was a delicious parsnip soup. I was on a liquid and pureed food diet for many weeks following my bariatric surgery and finding delicious low carb soup recipes for the pureed food diet stage was something I struggled to do.
Today I am sharing my very own parsnip soup recipe.
I do love sharing bariatric friendly recipes as they also work well for those following a low carb diet or simply for someone wanting to try a healthy and budget friendly soup idea.

Each serving of this delicious bariatric creamed soup contains 9g of carbs from the Parsnip which is not too bad at all.
