Ingredients
Instructions
-
Brown the meat with the onion and garlic in a skillet over medium-high heat and set aside.
-
Place the kale in a soup pot with the water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender.
-
Ladle out 2 cups of this veggie water (not caring if you get a few kale floaters in there), and if using tea, brew the tea in this water for 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags. Pour the water or brewed tea into a blender with the core Trimmy ingredients: ghee, gelatin, collagen (if using), and lecithin (if using). Add the dried habanero, nutritional yeast, vinegar, salt, liquid smoke, onion powder, and chipotle powder and blend well. Really Trimmy it up perfectly creamy and smooth.
-
Pour this Trimmy bisque cream into your pot. With a slotted spoon, fish out all of the greens and place it in the same blender, adding enough of the broth to blend until perfectly silky smooth, before returning to the pot. Add the chopped radishes and radish greens or extra kale. Bring back to a quick boil, then turn down to a simmer. Add the meat and cook until the radishes are tender. Taste and adjust the flavors to “own it.”
