Description

PEARL CHATS: While my Grandma’s Chicken Noodle Soup (page 156) uses traditional flavors, this soup is Asian inspired. Coconut-based meals like this one nourish your thyroid gland, which in turn helps rev your metabolism. The konjac-based noodles kick up the fat-burning even further, and the blended okra shoots it through the roof! This is a Light S, you need these sometimes for dietary balance. It is also dairy-free, soul-warming, body-nourishing, and, of course, fat-burning! This recipe is a family-serve recipe that feeds 6 to 8 people. This recipe is found on page 159, in the "Big Eats Soups" section of Trim Healthy Table Cookbook,

Ingredients
  • 1 Tbs extra virgin coconut oil
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic (4 to 6 garlic cloves, minced or 2 teaspoons garlic powder)
  • 10 oz Seasoning Blend (one 10-12-ounce bag frozen large-cut seasoning blend; onions, green peppers & celery, see page 35)
  • 15 oz full-fat coconut milk (1- 15-ounce can full-fat coconut milk)
  • 3/4 cup okra (frozen; diced)
  • 64 oz chicken broth (2 quarts chicken broth, with an optional 3 to 4 tablespoons TH Just Gelatin or TH Integral Collagen; see page 40)
  • 4 cups chicken (4 to 5 cups diced cooked chicken; see page 45 for cooking methods)
  • 2 Tbs lime juice (optional)
  • 3/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (¾ to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes; adjust to your liking . . . I always prefer more!)
  • 2 tsp TH Mineral Salt (or pull back on the salt a tad and add a couple good squirts fish sauce)
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp ginger (ground ginger, or 1 to 2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger)
  • 1 tsp TH Super Sweet Blend (or 1 to 2 doonks of TH Pure Stevia Extract Powder)
  • 21 oz konjac noodles (3-single serve bags of noodles or rice) (well rinsed, drained, and noodles snipped a bit smaller)
  • 1/4 bunch fresh cilantro (stems removed, chopped; optional)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Heat the coconut oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and seasoning blend and toss around the bottom of the pot for about 3 minutes.
  2. 2
    Put the coconut milk and okra in a blender and blend until smooth . . . really blend it to billio! Still see flecks of okra? Blend again! Pour it into the pot, add the broth with the optional gelatin and collagen (if using), and whisk together until smooth. Add the cooked chicken, lime juice (if using), pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, ginger, sweetener, and noodles. Bring to a quick boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the cilantro (if using) in the last few minutes.
