SERENE CHATS: Who said those with dairy allergies have to have a cheeseless life? Don’t say pooh-pooh to the delicious taste of moo moo. This dairy-free cheese soup will make you celebrate the taste of cheese once again. And if you are not someone who has to be dairy-free? Neither am I, but still give this soup a whirl.

6 People

Ingredients
  • 72 oz water (2 quarts, plus one cup water)
  • 2 large stalks celery (cut into chunks)
  • 2 red bell peppers (cut into chunks)
  • 1 large onions (cut into chunks)
  • 24 oz frozen cauliflower (2- 12 ounce bags frozen cauliflower florets)
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
  • 2 Tbs TH Baobab Boost Powder (optional)
  • 1 lemons (the juice of ½ to 1 lemon, use the smaller amount if using baobab)
  • 6 Tbs TH Nutritional Yeast
  • 1/2 tsp liquid smoke (mesquite liquid smoke)
  • 1 Tbs TH Nutritional Yeast
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional for a lil' kick)
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon black pepper)
  • 2 doonks cayenne pepper (this is not spicy and brings a sharper cheese flavor)
  • 1 1/2 Tbs toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 Tbs ghee (clarified butter)
  • 2 Tbs TH Just Gelatin
  • 1 1/2 Tbs TH Integral Collagen (1 scoop; optional)
  • 1/4 tsp sunflower lecithin (optional but preferred)
  • 3/4 tsp TH Glucomannan ("gluccie")
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley (stems removed, finely chopped)
  • Choice of Protein- Cheesy No Cheese Trimmy Bisque (See Recipe Notes below for protein options)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Put the water, vegetables, garlic, baobab powder (if using), lemon juice, nutritional yeast, liquid smoke, and seasonings in a soup pot. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it gently simmer until tender.
  2. 2
    Ladle 2 to 3 cups of the hot broth into a blender. Add half of the veggies and your core Trimmy ingredients: sesame oil, ghee, gelatin, collagen (if using), and lecithin (if using). Hold the blender lid tightly down and whiz until creamy (venting hot air once), then pour into a bowl. Now fill the blender with the rest of the veggies, a couple more cups broth, and the Gluccie. Holding the lid down tightly, whiz until smooth. Scrape the mixture into the soup pot, then pour the contents of the bowl back into the pot, too.
  3. 3
    Add your protein of choice to the pot. If using whey protein, remove ½ cup of the broth, transfer it to a bowl, add a couple ice cubes to cool the broth down, then stir in the whey with a fork until there are no lumps (if you don’t cool it down it will clump). While stirring constantly, slowly add the whey mix to your soup. Bring the soup back to the desired temperature and add the parsley. Taste test to “own it,” then serve.
Note

Including pasteurized dairy in every single meal can cause stalls, so change it up and give dairy a break! I do list whey powder as one of the protein options, but many dairy-sensitive people can use our Pristine Whey, as the lactose has been removed. However, you can use chicken breast instead.

MAKE A FAMILY MEAL:

  • For the weight-loss plan, have a big bowlful or two alone or pair with a side salad with lean dressing to stay in FP mode.
  • If you add sprouted-grain toast on the side, you’ll be having an E, which is perfectly fine.
  • Crossover-stage family members can have generous butter on their toast.

______

Protein Options:

  • ½ cup unflavored TH Pristine Whey Protein Powder
  • 4 to 5 cups diced cooked chicken (see page 45 for cooking methods)
