I was told to only use a little. I was suppose to look for one that was low in carbs (under 2 per cup) and one of the lower calorie low sodium varieties.
Then, SIP it. Make it last as long as possible. I was also told I could make up an IP chicken soup and thin it out with the chicken broth so I was getting more protein per cup if the broth was all I was able to tolerate.
You might also try the raspberry jelly in a warm liquid state as a drink. I found it really helped soothe my throat.
