New and Improved Cauliflower Bisque! | WEIGHT LOSS WEDNESDAY - Episode: 122

[@marilynpolzin8361]

Did anyone else have trouble with the audio? Love Chef AJ. Thanks for all your great recipes.

[@daliaaponte3822]

Thank you for all you do to help people get to their optimal weight 👍🤗

[@mojavebohemian814]

Thanks. I have lost 18 unhealthy lbs (w/o exercise), bought your book and am learning the "just cook" habits. The kitchen gadgets are a hobby for me and the "machines" are good. My last buy was the Nutramilk. I am grateful to avoid pkgng. I will have a garden in 2022. Appreciate being able to "check in" as needed w/you on the internet. Thank you from northeast AZ.

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank YOU!

[@russmilko]

All your recipes fit well with Dr. Esselstyn (Reverse your Heart Disease Diet). I also enjoyed watching your appearance on the Johnny Carson show back in the late 80's.

[@leperez333]

I never thought about cooking the green part of the cauliflower. Thanks for the great tip!

[@sharonwilliams249]

the green part is very good

[@gp8089]

Yes- I love the shorter format!

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks!

[@sandymarthaler9924]

I use a lot of her recipes. She is into simple. She introduced me to smoked paprika and the idea of not chopping vegetables! She is a good friend of my niece Cathy’s and has an awesome KZbin channel now where she interviews hundreds of health experts and Cathy too. I am making this cauliflower bisque now.

[@AH-cy4md]

I made this last night. It turned out pretty good. I used about a pound of Murasaki sweet potatoes from Trader Joe’s, a couple golden potatoes, a 12oz bag of frozen cauliflower florets, a 10.5oz bag of riced cauliflower, a couple onions...the rest pretty much as in the recipe, but I don’t have Benson’s Table Tasty, but some other brand/type of salt-free seasoning mix (it’s a bit too much black pepper, tho). I used my stovetop pressure cooker, because that’s what I have. (How can I justify buying an Instant Pot when I have a stovetop pressure cooker that works fine?) I like the no chopping! Just cook and blend! 👍. Thanks Chef AJ!

[@knitrelax]

I love my InstantPot, but I successfully used my stove top Fagor for yrs., so good on you.

[@ellenshealthykitchen]

Chef AJ - this is one of the best recipes for soup that I've ever made. Not only is it SOOOO easy to make, but it is over-the-top delicious. I just made a huge pot of it and will share it at our break fast for Yom Kippur tomorrow night. I also love how flexible it is. I'll definitely be trying it with other vegetables as well. THANK YOU!!!!

[@CHEFAJ]

It is one of my favorites too!

[@karinhammer-williamson8165]

Hi Chef AJ - thank you for including weights of veggies in your recipes. We get many of our veggies from a CSA and having the weights makes it easy to adjust the recipe amounts to the weight of the veggies we receive. Thank you so much for

[@CHEFAJ]

I’m glad you find the weights helpful!

[@CompanionAnimals2011]

Looks delicious and Compliant for my reverse heart disease diet! Thanks for posting. 🤗

[@lauralvegan2835]

I appreciate the level of detail and instruction you provide. I’m definitely going to try this one.

[@robynlogan9958]

ME TOO!!

[@maryg3143]

I was really wondering how all those whole veggies were going to turn out! Like magic with an immersion blender! Thanks Chef, I hope my family likes the soup as much as I know I will.

[@bisqquik]

can't wait to make this today! looks super simple

[@78cheerio]

I love the shorter videos. Thank you. Do continue😀

[@rossanapittsley4957]

Thank you for sharing your recipe. I’ve been wanting to try it forever and finally decided to make it. It is soooo good and so healthy. Thank you for all you do! I’m going to listen to your audiobook again.

[@cynthiatower1912]

I just made this. It was so good. Best of all it was so easy. Thank you for all your wonderful videos. Keep it up!

[@Elizerinc]

I love this soup. Thank you Chef AJ! I didn't have the table tasty or chipotle, but is so good anyway.

[@vedajones858]

Hi thank you so much for the recipe! I’m not a fan at all of sweet potatoes (orange or white). Would it work to substitute russet or gold potatoes instead?

[@daraghosullivan1157]

Healthy, tasty, easy and inexpensive food presented with energy and good humor. Hard to beat!

[@cindystrother7710]

I am SO happy YOU GOT a NEW HOME WITH A BIG KITCHEN THAT IS FABULOUS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR YUMMY DELICIOUS RECIPE LOVE YOUR NEW KITCHEN

[@kfog22]

I made this today in my 6 quart instant pot. It all fit great. It was easy and looked beautiful, but it was way too spicy for me. I followed your recipe. I wonder if my taste buds are just way more sensitive than everyone else's are? I think I'll try again, but with less of the spices and mustard.

[@allysonmccormack5529]

Oh thanks for sharing. I have a 6 wanted to know if I needed to half the recipe.

[@bonniemartin4232]

It wasn't just you. I was surprised to see that there weren't other comments about the spice. I began to think I used the wrong measuring spoon. It was way too spicy for my meat eating husband and son. I love spice but could have definitely decreased it so now I have a huge pot which I will have to eat myself. Will be going in the freezer. If I make it again, no more than 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. max.

[@vi3472]

Looks so good, will try it! 😋

[@i.e.presents638]

This looks SO good and it seems very adaptable. I could see it being yummy with mild green chiles, cumin, and spanish rice on the top!

[@CHEFAJ]

YUM!

[@meganparker7456]

Ordered the small and the large instant pot today, can’t wait to try it!!!! I need a bigger recipe book from you!

[@irhonda31]

I just ate two Murasaki sweet potatoes, and you still made me hungry watching this! 😋

[@lindagowin7270]

This recipe is delicious and makes enough to freeze additional meals-love that. Now one of my go to’s. Thank you for another great recipe.

[@teamarieful]

OMG I love your new kitchen AJ!!!!!🥰

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you!!

[@sewgirl1247]

No instant pot here. . . anyone else tried this in a slow cooker or on stove top? thinking it would be best to chop up veggies . . .how long was cooking time (approx)? Thanks. This looks wonderful Chef AJ, look forward to making it Today, I ate a Japanese Sweet Potato (cold - roasted yesterday) with macerated blueberries on top. .O.M.G.! It was incredibly delicious. . ..I am really enjoying your recipes.

[@CHEFAJ]

I did it on the stove it takes alot longer until everything is soft

[@patriciaharding]

You've made this recipe so easy that I'm not intimidated to make it. I made this today and it turned out great. I shared quart of it with my neighbors, and they loved it too. Thanks, Chef AJ.

[@CHEFAJ]

Enjoy!

[@patriciaharding]

@@CHEFAJ Success!!! I'll make this again!

[@rwheeler4156]

I watched this video months ago and kept thinking about this soup this week. It's in the instant pot! Had to do different spices but I think it'll be good!

[@CHEFAJ]

It's my favorite--hope you enjoy it

[@dracula666dracula666]

You are an amazing human being, your energy is so inspiring and you always brighten my day. Thank you for that soup, I know I am gonna love it :)

[@shaynek.3806]

Thank you for this recipe I made it and now it's my favorite soup. With each serving I added steamed broccoli all I can say is yummmmm !! I added a can of fire roasted tomatoes will see how it tastes :-)

[@CHEFAJ]

Shayne Khan sounds like a great addition

[@ScarfGirlKate]

My 8-Quart InstantPot is on its way from CA to MA as we speak. I used code: AJ to get $10 off! Thanks for reminding me of that in your last video. This bisque is the first thing I'm going to make when it arrives. I'm so excited to not chop the veggies!

[@marcimarcotte2973]

Kate Delmore What site did you order it from? I must of missed that offer!

[@ScarfGirlKate]

From InstantPot.com

[@melanieframpton1765]

Okay, admittedly, I thought this would be "meh" but was SO intrigued by the HUGE sizes of the cauliflower, sweet potatoes, ONION that I just had to try it. I watched both episodes of this recipe from your shows, and do like this version better. I did use the Chipoltle powder (might have used more like 3/4 teaspoon) and used low salt veg broth instead of water, but otherwise followed it to a "T". Wow, wow, wow! What flavor! My husband (who is a big meat eater) even loved it. I can see adding this to a weekly meal plan (although it will last two weeks, there is so much!). Thank you for your great recipes!!

[@CHEFAJ]

You can also freeze some of it and use it for another meal or two

[@margaretd3710]

AJ, you listed all the spices in the show notes but the amounts of each isn't there. I know you told us what it was in the video, but just in case someone was just listening and thought they'd drop down and get the complete recipe, if you could add those in, it'd be greatly appreciated.

[@tonivandyke5066]

I put this on to cook (in a large saucepan because I don't have an instant pot) while I ate my oatmeal and berries. It didn't take long and when I blended it I had to have a taste of course and, WoW was that a big mistake - I couldn't stop "tasting" . . . Not such a great idea immediately after oatmeal. hahaha It fantastic. . . I feel like a whole new world has opened to me now as I can picture all the veggies that this will go with. Thanks AJ xo by the way, I didn't use nutritional yeast or mustard as I don't eat them.

[@kathyfloydflashy1]

I love your videos, but the volume is very low. I turn up the volume on my iPad and it is still not high enough. I’ve learned so much from you and I want to hear you! ❤️

I can't get those types of sweet potatoes where I live. I think I'll try Yukon gold instead.

[@Robin-gf7bd]

I just made this, and it was pretty darned good. I didn’t have any Benson’s Table Tasty so I wonder what it would taste like with that?? I just ordered your book from Amazon and hope there are a lot more yummy recipes that are doable for me.

Can it be made in 6 qt? And is this the same recipe in health science winter 2021

[@nomad9338]

Wouldn't blending it make it processed because you're altering the fibre structure?

[@Tuttio1]

Making this tonight - any thoughts on what to use in place of Benson's, since I don't have any in the house? Ordering it now, though!

[@CHEFAJ]

Maybe another salt free seasoning/

[@judi6291]

I watched this a couple times and don't see where you added any fluid to the instant pot and there is none listed. I was thinking you added vegetable broth but when I watched again that was not the case. How much water do you add? I want to have enough to be effective but don't want to water down the soup. Thanks!

[@CHEFAJ]

I start with 6 cups of water in the pot

[@johncastleberry3404]

Thank you AJ! Been getting your pack from MamaSezz ! Great help.

@@CHEFAJ You are welcome! Have been wanting to be a vegetarian since age 3 when my father went on a hunting trip, saw them dress the deer, they were taken to a taxidermist and I looked at them in the den for many years. When the venison was served was told it was a delicacy. Was just 3 and cried. Never wanted to eat any meat or fish since. A lifelong struggle. Thank you for helping.

I believe I said it. It's also in my book.

[@rachaelbackdoor4872]

I made this according to the recipe with one exception which was I substituted Jewel sweet potatoes for the Hannah since they could not be found. The Jewel were the closest to the Hannah that I could find. It was really good. I froze 4 quarts and had a big bowl for dinner with rice. I had some left over which I used as a dip for potato slices I made -+SOS in the air fryer. Very filling and clean eating.

[@NancyCronk]

Love your videos. Why do you use a non-fortified brand of nutrional yeast? I thought we were supposed to get the kind that is fortified with B12 to make sure we go that nutrient.

[@NancyCronk]

Also, I use the same recipe, sometimes adding greens, other times adding mushrooms. Sometimes adding tomatoes. It is a great base for any kind of bisque.

Not sure if you'll get this since you posted this video 2 years ago, but......I don't have an instant pot (yet), but I want to do batch cooking. I'm 66 and live alone but want to start batch cooking. Is there a way to do this recipe in a 6 qt one (I don't have a large kitchen, so the 8 qt will be too big)???

[@julia912d5]

Our bodies NEED salt. In fact salt is so vital to our brains and bodies that it was once more valuable then gold and why 2,000 years ago, they used to say someone was important or valuable by saying that "they are worth their salt". Our blood is salty like the ocean because it's how our brains talk to our cells. What we don't need is 'table salt'. The reason why doctors tell people to 'avoid salt' is because table salt, like Morton's salt is 8-13% sand. So it's like tiny shards of glass* are traveling through our veins and arteries, causing small cuts. Nature's Band-Aid outside of our bodies are blisters and calluses; inside our veins are bodies create plaque from cholesterol. We do NOT want blockages of plaque in our veins/arteries. That is why early vegetarians and health nuts began to use 'sea salt'. But now that our oceans are so toxic - most use (pink) Himalayan salt now. However, 100+ years ago, an iodine deficiency in our diet caused goiters, so our government started putting iodine in our salt so the entire country would have the trace mineral they needed. So Americans are not only missing the 54 minerals we need and used to get from our soil - but we're not getting a regular iodine dose we need. So taking a kept pill once a day is better than trying to get it from the kelp/seaweed we are supposed to eat. The government only requires farmers put 3 minerals back into the soil - which is why fertilizer is one of the many reason we're going insane from being mineral deficient for decades now. Those shards of salt glass going through our veins leads to heart disease and high blood pressure and blocks in our arteries, the same reason high blood sugar creates shards of glass going through our veins too. Which is why both lead to heart disease as our body creates plaque to patch the cuts in our veins. Salt is not the enemy, the primary source most American's use for salt is what caused the problem(s).

Unfortified nutritional yeast? Why?

[@ajdamronfamily]

Goblins 👺👺👺

[@ajdamronfamily]

There are two types of nutritional yeast - unfortified and fortified. Unfortified: This type does not contain any added vitamins or minerals. It only contains the vitamins and minerals that are naturally produced by the yeast cells as they grow. Fortified: This type contains synthetic vitamins added during the manufacturing process to boost nutrient content. If vitamins have been added to the yeast, they will be included in the ingredients list.
