Ingredients
  • 2 lbs 96% lean ground turkey (2 to 3 pounds browned 96% lean ground turkey or venison or very lean grass-fed beef; thawed if frozen)
  • 4 cups carrots (coarsely chopped)
  • 1 onions (chopped)
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
  • 6 cups water
  • 2 Tbs ghee (clarified butter, mct oil, or coconut oil)
  • 2 Tbs TH Just Gelatin
  • 1 Tbs TH Integral Collagen (1-2 Tbsp of TH Integral Collagen; optional)
  • 1/4 tsp sunflower lecithin (optional but preferred)
  • 1 1/2 tsp liquid smoke (mesquite)
  • 2 1/2 tsp cumin (ground cumin)
  • 3 Tbs lemon juice (or lime juice)
  • 1/4 tsp cajun seasoning
  • 2 level doonks TH Pure Stevia Extract Powder
  • 3 tsp TH Mineral Salt (3-3 1/2 teaspoons TH Mineral Salt)
  • 3/4 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (or 1/2 teaspoon black pepper)
  • 3 Tbs TH Nutritional Yeast (optional)
  • 32 oz chicken broth
  • 30 oz black beans (2- (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained, or 3 cups home-cooked)
  • 14.5 oz petite diced tomatoes (1- (14.5-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes)
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Brown the ground meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat. If the meat is not at least 96% lean, rinse it thoroughly under very hot water to get all the extra fat out of it. Set the meat aside.

  2. 2

    Place the carrots, onion, and garlic in a soup pot with 5 cups of the water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the veggies are tender.

  3. 3

    Ladle 2 cups of the hot broth into a blender and add the Trimmy ingredients: ghee, gelatin, collagen (if using), and lecithin (if using). Add the liquid smoke, cumin, lemon juice, Cajun seasoning, stevia powder, salt, chipotle powder, cayenne, and nutritional yeast (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy and return the puree to the soup pot.

  4. 4

    Now put three-fourths of the tender veggies into the blender along with the remaining 1 cup water. Blend until nice and smooth and return the puree to the pot. Add the chicken broth, black beans, tomatoes, meat, pepper flakes, and cilantro and bring to a perfect serving temperature. Taste and adjust the flavors to “own it.”
