Yes, you can but home made vegetable soups are more nutritious. Make sure you avoid spicy foods and rich oily gravies. Avoid fried snacks and include protein rich foods only in moderate amounts. Have plenty of starchy foods like rice, potatoes, bananas and avoid eating out as you have just recovered from jaundice and outside food is not prepared with utmost cleanliness and hygiene. Eat fresh home cooked food and drink boiled and cooled water. You can have fruit juices but they must be either tetra packed or freshly prepared hygienically at home. You can prepare healthy soups at home by boiling and grinding vegetables like spinach, carrots, beetroot and tomatoes with boneless chicken. You can add corn starch for thickening soups.





Avoid fat rich heavy meals.





Eat small frequent meals and carbohydrate rich snacks whenever you are hungry like puffed rice and jaggery laddoos, rice flakes or poha, semolina or suji and sago puddings or dishes.





Include moderate amounts of egg whites, chicken and fish if you are a non-vegetarian as it provides proteins of good quality but avoid poor quality proteins like vegetarian sources like pulses, beans and grams. You can include low fat milk/skimmed milk/curd and cottage cheese or paneer but have them only in moderation. Avoid butter, cream, clarified butter and margarine as they are difficult to digest.





Hope these suggestions will help you .
