SERENE CHATS: Thick and fragrant with the alluring aroma of a spice market in a bustling town in India, this Trimmy Bisque fills your belly with warm, exotic flavors. It is super easy (take that, Pearl!)—just boil and blend and it really satisfies without the need for the usual huge mound of white rice that comes with many Indian dishes. This is not too spicy as written, so increase the cayenne if you like a spicier curry, or take it back to just 1⁄8 teaspoon if you’re not a spice head. This recipe is found in the “Big Eats Soups” section of Trim Healthy Table Cookbook, page 184. This recipe is a family-serve recipe that feeds 6 to 8 people.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Put the water in a soup pot with the onion, garlic, spinach, peas, and cauliflower. Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the veggies are tender.
-
Put about 2 cups of the hot broth in a blender. Try to avoid the veggies, but don’t stress over it. Add your core Trimmy ingredients—ghee, gelatin, collagen (if using), and lecithin (if using)—the coconut milk, tomato paste, vinegar, curry powder, cumin, salt, nutritional yeast, onion powder, cayenne, black pepper, and okra. Holding the lid down tightly, blend with Super Mama powers so no bits of okra are left floating around. Scrape the whipped sauce into the pot and stir very well to combine all the flavors.
-
Add your protein choice and bring to a perfect serving temperature. Taste and adjust the flavors to “own it.”
