Hello everyone. I'm trying to find the healthiest way to thicken a soup or similar to make gravy. I researched, and haven't found anything that sounded good to me. The one that comes up the most in my searches is Xanthum gum, but it's processed so I really don't want to try it. I took a delicious recipe for mashed potatoes, and substituded the potatoes with cauliflower. It came out so incredibly delicious, but it was too "soup." I'd like to make a heavier version of it. Everyone in my family said it was better than ANY mashed "potatoes" they'd ever eaten, and want me to make it again, like, yesterday lol. TIA
Maybe simmer your soup with the lid off for awhile to evaporate the liquids. Reduce it down from a soupy soup to a thicker stew of sorts.
Also, ground pork rinds will thicken, and is carni frien

Minced meats. Send the chicken thru the blender/food processor and add it to your recipe. Sort of your current recipe then add the chicken.
Before carnivore we did this with our homemade chicken

Yes, simmering would be a good option. I can't use pork rinds because I don't eat pork, only Kosher food, but I'll try simmering. I bought some cheesecloth, thought maybe after I cooked the cauliflo

Today is the first day of January and is also the first day of World Carnivore Month. To that end, let's challenge ourselves to eat a carnivore diet for the entire month of January. The type of carnivore diet and the level of strictness you choose to do is entirely up to you. Examples of carnivore diets include the following...
1) The Lion Diet. A person eating the Lion Diet only consumes the flesh of ruminant animals, water, and salt.
2) The BBBE Diet. BBBE is an acronym for Beef, Butter, Bacon, and Eggs.
3) The Carnivore Diet. This allows for the consumption of any and all animals and animal by-products, including dairy.
In any of the above examples, the object of course is to not consume any plants as part of your diet. Of course, we're not going to micromanage hoe you prepare your food, so your use of seasonings is entirely your own personal choice.
IF your circumstances don't allow you to go full on carnivore in January, then you can participate in this topic by challenge yourself to do better, above and beyond what you have been doing. For example, if you have still been eating grains, seed oils, refined sugar, or drinking alcohol, challenge yourself to avoid these items and just eat a clean, single ingredient whole foods diet such as clean keto, ketovore, or animal based.
We encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. Participants in this topic will be entered into a drawing for a prize at the end of the month.
