Ingredients
Instructions
-
Put all the ingredients except the collagen in a small saucepan. Cover and turn the heat to high, bringing the mixture to a quick boil. Lower the heat and simmer the veggies until tender (takes just a few minutes).
-
Transfer the mixture to a blender and add the collagen (if using). Make sure the lid is secure, and blend well for a few seconds. Turn the blender off and vent the hot air then continue to blend until completely smooth.
-
Return the puree to the saucepan and simmer for a couple more minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings to “own it.”

Recipe Notes
From page 114, Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook:
"Think an E soup couldn’t possibly be creamy? Wipe away that notion with this easy recipe. This bowl of golden goodness tastes like fall but can be eaten all year. It is choc full of beta carotene due to the inclusion of a full sweet potato plus some carrots and has just enough fat to help your body absorb all the vitamins and minerals it boasts. One teaspoon of fat is all it takes to get wonderful creaminess when okra tag teams in an E recipe."
"The 1 ½ scoops of Integral Collagen gives you around 15 grams of protein which is suitable for a lunch meal. If you want to stick with a no special ingredients approach, nix the collagen and use some pre cooked and diced chicken breast but we love the creaminess of this soup without added chicken."
SERVING IDEA: Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
