Eat in limited quantities: asparagus, known types of cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley leaves. A list of root crops prohibited in case of illness has been compiled: radish, radish, rhubarb, sorrel and lettuce leaves, pepper, garlic and pepper fruits.
In case of attenuation of the disease or transition to a chronic state, a careful, gradual introduction of tomatoes or legumes into soups is allowed.
Chicken first courses
It is required to use chicken broth with caution for pancreatitis, especially during an exacerbation. The reasons are these facts:
- chicken broth provokes the production of digestive juice, which aggravates the patient's condition;
- the liquid is obtained oily due to the digestion of the subcutaneous fatty network;
- store-bought chickens contain many hormonal and antibiotic agents, which is considered an unfavorable factor.
On the days of exacerbation of the disease, during the rehabilitation of the body, you will have to give up the use of chicken broth, chicken soup is contraindicated.

Chicken Soup Cooking Principles
During the period of attenuation of the disease, permission for the introduction of chicken broth is given by the attending physician, based on the individual picture of the recovery process. It is supposed to take into account important points in preparation.
- Adult chicken breast is used in dietary nutrition.
- Before boiling, remove unnecessary components from the meat, leaving a clean fillet.
- Soup is prepared in the second or third broth, with a minimum of salt and herbs, it is allowed to add a spoonful of sour cream dressing.
First courses of a slimy consistency
With an exacerbation of the inflammatory process, rare mucous soups based on cereals are used for food. Cereals, with the exception of millet, boiled down to the state of mucus, help the gradual restoration of the surface of the pancreas and esophagus.
Cooking mechanism
The main principles of cooking are: prolonged digestion of cereals together with vegetables, decanting through a sieve, the introduction of butter, creamy or egg-milk dressing. You can save digestion time if the groats are washed, dried and ground earlier.
A properly made soup has the same slimy structure, without hard inclusions, pleasant aroma and exquisite taste, delicate to the touch.
Oatmeal soup, filled with substances similar in qualities to digestive ones, is considered invariably useful. They use rice, barley, buckwheat, wheat groats. Sometimes flax seeds, known for their medicinal qualities, are added.
Puree soups
Another option for a variety of dietary food will be the preparation of mashed soups. The puree soup is extremely useful for normalizing the digestive function of the body, ideal for diets. Includes a lot of nutrients, has a mild effect on the gastrointestinal tract. Puree soups are salty and sweet, delicious cold.
Puree soup is an ordinary soup cooked from vegetables or cereals, chopped and whipped using a special kitchen appliance - a blender. Sour cream or cream dressing is added to such a dish. Then it is already called cream soup. The combination with pre-dried bread slices is suitable for puree soups. They are served separately or added directly to the dish before serving.
Cheese soups
To add a touch of variety to the patient's diet, at the stage of attenuation of the disease, doctors are allowed to add a little cheese to ready-made soups. To prepare a cheese dish, add vegetable puree to the ready-made dietary chicken broth. Then, grated cheese is introduced into the finished broth, boiled for a short time. Lovers cut dill, parsley, onions into the soup, put sour cream dressing.

Pea soup
On the issue of eating pea soup, gastroenterologists are in solidarity. The dish is forbidden due to the high fiber content, which makes it extremely difficult for the process of digesting food. Eating peas causes bouts of flatulence, which are undesirable in case of illness. Pea soup complicates the passage of feces in patients with inflammation of the pancreas, causes pain, nausea, bloating, burning in the stomach and larynx.
Individual doctors are allowed to occasionally indulge themselves with such a treat, observing simple rules: soaking, good grinding, small doses. If the experiment with eating pea soup led to discomfort and pain, you will need to completely abandon such an undertaking.
Restrictions on the use of soups
Diet of patients with pancreatitis means a number of restrictions. With an exacerbation of the disease, broths, fatty or dense, should not be eaten. The first broths must be drained. For soups, clean fillets are cut, bones, tendons and cartilage are removed. It is strictly forbidden to add irritating products, all kinds of spices and herbs to soups. Soups are cooked exclusively from foods permitted by the diet: no millet, vegetables that cause increased secretion of gastric juice, fatty meats.
Based on the above, it follows that with pancreatitis, the level of secretion of digestive juice is too high. Only a gentle diet, including the use of soups, will help in solving this problem. However, remember that when preparing a dietary soup, you must also follow the basic rules and adhere to established restrictions.
