Here is a delicious Italian version of the Trim Train Taco Soup we developed for Woman’s World magazine, which they called Secret Ingredient Soup. They asked us to come up with an ultra slimming, ultra-tasty soup they could publish for those just starting our plan to help make the beginning of their Trim Healthy Mama journey easier. We developed the taco version and it was a hit! Trim Train not only helps beginners have a quick meal to fall back on when they are just starting and feeling overwhelmed, but it has also helped many of our seasoned Trim Healthy Mamas get through weight-loss stalls and simplify their weekly menus! Our Head Admin for the THM Facebook groups, Jessica Myers, came up with this Italian version. This recipe is found in the "Big Eats Soups" section of the Trim Healthy Table Cookbook on page 160.

| Servings | Prep Time |
Brown the meat in a large soup pot. If the meat you are using is not at least 96% lean, rinse it well under very hot water in a colander to release all the fat. Return the meat to the pot, add the seasoning blend and garlic, and sauté with the meat until the veggies thaw and begin to tenderize. Add the chicken broth, seasonings, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and tomato sauce and let simmer. with the meat until the veggies thaw and begin to tenderize.
While the soup is simmering, put the frozen cauliflower florets in a blender with 3 cups of the boiled water and puree until perfectly smooth (if you have a small blender this may require two batches). Add the creamed cauliflower to the soup pot.
Put the frozen okra in the blender with the remaining 4 cups boiling water, the gelatin, and coconut oil. Blend well until completely smooth and creamified. (Blend, baby, blend! There should be no little bits of okra left.) Add to the pot and simmer for another 15 to 20 minutes. The longer you simmer, the less you will notice any signs of okra at all. Taste test to “own it.” You may want to go heavier with the seasonings but it’s up to you.

MAKE A FAMILY MEAL:

NOTE: This makes 12 ginormous servings or 14 large servings. Dish up half of this soup as a hearty dinner to feed a family of 6, then set aside the rest for quick single-serve meals throughout the week. It will easily last 5 to 7 days in the fridge, but it also freezes well in individual portions.
