Ingredients
  

Vegetable Base

  • 1 tbsp olive oil Optional, can skip if fats bother you
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups zucchini, chopped
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup carrots, thin sliced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14 to 15 oz), no sugar added Use if possible
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt Start small, add later
  • to taste black pepper

Protein Boost (optional)

  • 1 to 2 scoops unflavored protein powder Whisk this in carefully
  • 1 cup liquid egg whites Stir in at low simmer

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a big pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until the onion is soft.
  • Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Ensure it doesn't burn.
  • Add chopped zucchini, cauliflower, carrots, diced tomatoes, broth, and seasonings. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Cover and cook for 20 to 25 minutes until the veggies are very soft.
  • Blend until smooth if you are on the puree stage. If you are on the soft stage, blend only half so it feels more 'soupy.'
  • Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Protein Addition

  • If using unflavored protein powder, let the soup cool for a few minutes, then whisk the powder with a bit of soup in a small bowl to make a smooth paste before stirring it back into the pot.
  • If using liquid egg whites, keep the soup at a very low simmer and slowly stir them in.

Portioning and Storage

  • Portion soup into small containers to avoid serving too much. It can be stored in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days and freezes well for future use.

Notes

Use a small bowl and spoon to naturally slow down eating. Drink 30 minutes before and after meals. Stay focused on protein and watch slider foods. Set timers for meals to avoid eating too quickly.
