Okra Lover’s Soup

Pearl Chats: "This is probably not for everyone but I’m so loving this right now. This is my second bowl of it. Serene has turned me into a bonafide "crazy for okra" woman! I created this soup because I literally crave the texture and taste of it now. I often have it for my dinner when my boys and husband are at basketball practice as they of course do not care for it… or I’ll have it as my lunch. I do it meatless but it would probably be great with any meat too. Oh… it is a FP too although it doesn’t feel like it, it feels really hearty… more like an S to me. There are some oats in there for thickness but this makes at least 4 servings, even though the oats swell up, the numbers stay pretty much Fuel Pull. You could add more oats or quinoa for a true E if desired but I like this consistency." This recipe is part of the Trim Healthy Exclusive Collection.

  • 10 oz Rotel tomatoes & chilies (1-10 ounce can Rotel; I use hot but use medium or mild if you are not a heat freak)
  • 1 tsp TH Mineral Salt
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • onion powder (to taste)

  • 32 oz bone stock (if not using bone stock, use broth and add 8 ounces of chicken)

Note

Suggestions from Pearl:

  • I add a bunch of TH Nutritional Yeast, like a 1/3 cup for taste, for more protein and for health benefits as it is full of chromium and B vitamins.
  • If you do not have any chicken bone stock you can use chicken broth and add some TH Integral Collagen for added protein, or a Side Protein & Fiber Chocolate Milk for even more added protein to your meal if not using the option of adding the chicken breast to the recipe.
  • E Option: Add more oats or quinoa for a true E if desired.
