No waste here. We use the tops and the tails of our starring veggie, the radish! This soup was inspired by my wonderful backyard garden put in by my nephew Zadok Johnson, a master organic gardener. (I had no time to do it myself this year due to this book.) His gardens are pure art—things of beauty and vibrant brilliance. In season I harvested giant daikon radishes and their huge bouquet of gorgeous greens every night and threw them in this yummy Trimmy Bisque. I realize that many folks may not have a Zadok living next door on a hilltop like us, or time or space for their own garden, so I have tweaked this recipe so everyone can enjoy it. This recipe is a family-serve recipe that feeds 6 to 8 people. This recipe is found in the “Big Eats Soups” section, on page 193 of the Trim Healthy Table Cookbook.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by browning the ground meat in a skillet over medium high heat. While the meat is browning, place the water, radishes, garlic, onion, and kale (or daikon or radish greens) in a large soup pot. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the veggies are tender.
-
Meanwhile, ladle 1 cup of the soup broth into a blender. Add the coconut milk and the core Trimmy ingredients—1 tablespoon of the coconut oil, the gelatin, collagen (if using), and lecithin (if using)—the habanero, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, onion powder, vinegar, miso, chaga extract (if using), fish sauce, and salt. Hold the lid down tightly and whip, then add this to the pot. Add the browned meat and remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil. (I add the oil last so that it forms little yummy beadlets on top of the bisque.) Stir everything together well, take your bisque off the heat, and taste to adjust the flavors and “own it.”
Note
MAKE A FAMILY MEAL:
- For the weight-loss plan, enjoy a big bowlful or two and perhaps add a little grated cheese on top, if you desire.
- Always feel free to pair this with a side salad.
- The Crossover peeps in the family can have sprouted-grain bread with butter or a piece of fruit to end their meal.
