Indian Madras Trimmy Bisque

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.

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.

Ingredients

64 oz water (2 quarts)
1 large onions (diced)
6 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
16 oz frozen spinach (one 16-ounce bag)
2 cups frozen peas
16 oz frozen cauliflower (one- 16 ounce bag)
2 Tbs ghee (clarified butter)
2 Tbs TH Just Gelatin
1 1/2 Tbs TH Integral Collagen (one scoop; optional)
1/4 tsp sunflower lecithin (optional but preferred)
15 oz full-fat coconut milk (one- 15 ounce can)
6 oz tomato paste (one- 6 ounce can)
1 Tbs apple cider vinegar
3 1/2 Tbs mild Madras curry powder (I use Sadaf brand; use another mild curry powder if you cannot find it, or order it online)
1/2 tsp cumin (ground cumin)
3 1/2 tsp TH Mineral Salt (use the larger amount for salt lovers)
3 Tbs TH Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 cups frozen okra (diced)
Choice of Protein - Indian Madras Trimmy Bisque (See Recipe Notes below for protein options)

Instructions

1
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.
2
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.
3
Add your protein choice and bring to a perfect serving temperature. Taste and adjust the flavors to “own it.”
