Description


When it comes to lunch time, we like BIG, HEARTY, FILLING bowls of soup that don’t take BIG chunks of time out of our day to make. Get filled up fast for lunch (or use these for a quick dinner) and allow the healing ingredients to work their health promoting, slimming powers in your body. This quick, single-serve soup recipe can be found on page 111 of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook.

Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth (or bone stock, pg 495-496)
  • 1 cup broccoli (frozen or fresh florets)
  • 5 whole pods frozen okra
  • 4 pinches TH MIneral Salt (4-5 generous pinches)
  • 1/8 tsp onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • cayenne pepper (to taste)
  • 1 Tbs TH Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 oz cream cheese (1/3 less fat)
  • 1 Tbs heavy cream (1-2 Tbs)
  • bacon bits (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Put the broth, veggies, and seasonings in a small saucepan, cover, turn the heat to high, and bring to a quick boil. Reduce the temperature to medium-high and simmer the veggies until they are tender (takes just a few minutes).
  2. 2
    Transfer the mixture to a blender and add the cream cheese. Make sure the lid is secure, and blend well for a few seconds. Turn the blender off, vent the hot air, then continue to blend until it’s a smooth puree.
  3. 3
    Pour the puree into the saucepan, bring back to a simmer over low heat, then add the cream. Stir to warm through and taste to adjust the seasonings. Top with bacon bits (if using).
Note

From page 111, Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook:
"The hidden okra in this soup acts as a gentle thickener but is also healing to your gut and pancreas.  If you think you dislike okra – here’s a way to get it into your diet with only sheer yumminess detected."

"You can up the protein content of your meal by either adding some leftover chicken breast, stirring in a scoop of Integral Collagen into your bowl or enjoy some Superfood Chocolate Chews for dessert."

SERVING IDEAS: Top with just a bit of grated cheese; you don’t have to overdo the cheese, as this soup is already ultra-creamy from the magic of okra blended with the small amount of dairy.

NOTE: You can up the protein content of your meal by either adding some leftover chicken breast, stirring in a scoop of Integral Collagen, or enjoying some Superfood Chocolate Chews (page 383) or gummies (pages 387–388) for dessert.
