YOU BET! That's what I used -- ground turkey and soy milk. Steather says she just drops the "meat"balls in the soup, raw, whereas I browned them in a non-stick pan first. I think it's probably better if you don't brown them first because they come out hard. Actually, the "meat"balls are so good by themselves, last night I raided the ice box by picking a few of them out of the soup and microwaved them. YUM!
The soup is incredible -- today, when Don said he wanted more for dinner again tonight, admitted he actually likes it better than my infamous lentil soup! WOW!
And the best part is, I'm getting all that great insoluble fiber WITHOUT THE CRAMPS!!! It's tummy-happy food.
ENJOY!
Bev

Heather, is there a way to go back and edit the original post, and include the IBS friendly substitutions? (Of course, I would never imagine posting a recipe without making it IBS friendly first now, but that was back in my "EFI ignorant" days )
Of course, one only has to read the follow up posts to know that turkey should be used for the meatballs and water or soy milk for the milk....But it would just help folks out if the original recipe was edited

That's the part I worry about most Bev. Do you ever eat salads, and if so how to they sit in your gut? I've not been brave enough to try any insolubles sice starting this diet.

Joanmarie,
I can't eat salads at all, without diarrhea and severe cramps -- raw lettuce or greens of any kind are one of my biggest triggers. But apparently letting the cabbage cook long enough in the stew breaks down the insoluble fiber enough to make it tummy friendly...at least for me. I hope you are able to try the soup and enjoy it too!

Do you have any other ways you are able to eat insolubles?
Thanks for the great recipe and great advice.

JoanMarie, I understand PERFECTLY! I have been SOOO much better since I cut out all insoluble fiber from my diet. I used to love salad bars, but every time I left Izzie's after only one small serving, I barely made it back home in time -- I was doubled over with pain and had to run to the bathroom, where the attack began -- for the rest of the night!
But I have to add back the insoluble fiber. We have to have it. No, I can't eat broccoli or cabbage or salad. Cooking it in soup is the ONLY answer for me. The broccoli leek soup in here and this cabbage soup do NOT bother my tummy AT ALL! In fact, I have a happy tummy after eating either. The broccoli is cooked and pulverized in the soup 'till you barely recognize it -- very easy to digest! And the cabbage in this recipe is chopped into little tiny pieces and cooked and COOKED; it's also easy to digest. AND -- here's a real plus -- I think it was even better tasting tonight than it was last night. The only thing about this soup is that I don't know how well it would freeze. It makes a lot -- but so far my hubby is eating it so fast I won't have any to freeze!
Try it -- you'll like it! And I think your tummy will too. Eat some soluble fiber first, like some crusty French baguette bread, then have a little more that you can dunk in the soup. Oooh, I'm starting to drool!
Bev

Thanks Bev.
I'm not much of a soup eater, but I'm going to the store today and will give them a try. My daughter loves soup so that should help with the volume.

In general, cooking insoluble fiber foods will help a lot. So will diceing, chopping, or pureeing them. You can make fresh fruit smoothies, veggie pasta sauces, bean dips, that type of thing. And always have with soluble fiber - that will greatly help too.

Any ones in particular that you recommend? I made the cabbage soup and the broccioli soup, but aren't these foods that tend to create a lot of gas?
