Wow, this sounds amazing! Plus it's dairy-free (as long as you use the coconutoil instead of butter.)
Does the carb-count include the carrots? Thank you for sharing this!

Hi, yup, the carb count includes the count for the carrots. I think they do add a little color to the soup. I got the recipe out of Rachel Matesz's book, "The Garden of Eating". I don't get paid for anything, lol, but i've told a ton of people how great her book is. It's grain/dairy free. I don't make any of the veggie recipes, except for some really tasty carrot ginger soup and her broccoli avocado soup. The latter sounds gross, but it's really creamy & good, and it has chipotle so it's got a kick. :) Her and her husband, Don, follow more zone ratios (40% carb, 30% fat, and 30% protein) which seems to work well for me. I guess i'm an odd ball, as I seemed to eat a ton of meat when I was eating carnivore to get full, and I was hungry all the time. Darn appetite supression never kicked in for me. :( If you go to www.thegardenofeatingdiet.com and go to "The Book" tab at the top, the next screen has 5 free recipe pdf's you can download (currently honey mustard chicken, the broccoli avocado soup, mustard dressing, Squash Pudding Pie, and roasted chicory coffee. I've actually made all of these, they are really good!!! :) Dean has her book too. |

Yes, Jessica, I do have this book. I have yet to open it, though. That IS gonna change now! I'm starting to use some really low carb vegetation, and want to get into making some of these various yummy recipes. Thanks for posting this. It sounds so very good. I'm definitely gonna try it. 
You mention using thickener (a tablespoon of guar gum). What if the coconut milk has guar gum in it? I use "A Taste Of Thai" canned coconut milk, and it is so rich, thick, and creamy... cuz it has guar gum in it. Would that be enough to make this sauce thick? I would want it to be a thick sauce, cuz that sounds so wonderful. And, I too will omit the carrots. They don't seem to fit into this recipe. I can't wait to try this! 
Thanks, Jessica.

HI Dean!Hi Dean!I am so sorry it's taken me this long to respond... I haven't been here since I posted the accident pics. :( You can make the soup without guar gum. The guar gum makes it really thick, like a thick soup that used wheat/flour in it. I've actually made it without. It's just more liquidy. :) I've made it without the carrots or mushrooms, just the onions, and it seems to agree with me better. Cheers! Jessica |
