Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Okra
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 Bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Instructions
Start by washing the okra thoroughly. Pat dry and slice off the tops and tails. Then, slice each pod into approximately 1/2-inch pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves, chop the onion finely, and dice the tomatoes.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
Add the sliced okra to the pot, then season with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and the bay leaf.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the okra is tender.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Garnish the soup with freshly chopped parsley and add a squeeze of lime juice for a burst of freshness.
Serve hot and enjoy this delicious keto-friendly soup!
