I’m at true north now. Today is my last day of fasting - day 21!! Someone here told me about this video since she was given this soup for high blood pressure which you didn’t mention yet. She said this yummy soup has brought down her blood pressure - that’s why they gave it to her.
I love Chef Bravo. I love seeing him on your show! I have the express book and it's the absolute easiet and best tasting food! Feel so fortunate to have this information. ❤️
Love this! I remember having this wonderful soup made for me while I was there. The only difference was that mine was made with sweet potatoes instead of Yukon gold potatoes. Unfortunately, I didn't do well with the juices post water fast either. Absolutely thee best soup ever! I was actually telling my sister about this recipe last week, and here you two are this morning talking about it and demonstrating it. 😮Thank you! 😊
I'm definitely going to make this. I'd put onion and/or garlic powder in it. (Hey, if you're doing the McDougall Starch Solution, this could be your 50/50 plate.)
Thank you for sharing your experiences and this recipe with us, Chefs AJ and Bravo! I was thrilled to meet you, Chef AJ (and Charles and Bailey) on your first day at True North in September which was my last day. I fasted 13 days and have lessened some inflammation and kept the weight off. Yay! I purchased several cookbooks while there, including both of Chef Ramses' books. I agree with you wholeheartedly, Chef AJ, Nathaniel and the staff are wonderful people! Nathaniel was so incredibly kind to my daughter and me!
My mother used to make zucchini and potato soup for me when I was a child, but she put olive oil and salt. I have been WFPB SOS-Free since January 2016, and it never occurred to me to try make a WFPB compliant version of this soup! Thanks for sharing this, I plan to try to make it soon!
I did make this and it would be fine, but I added 1 garlic to the blender, blended 1/2 the mix. Some chunkiness😋👍... Then I added some red miso paste, spiraled raw zucchini noodles and nutritional yeast... Next level yumminess.... This could be a great broccoli soup! Too! Thank you... I have lots of ideas to experiment with. 👍💡🤔🤗😍😋😋😋😋💋♥️💗
After I fasted, Chef Bravo made me a soup of butternut squash, Swiss chard, and zucchini, which was sweet and salty from the vegetables, it was so good and healing, I still make it today.😊
I've done a lot of 5-6 day fasts, but the few times i made it to 7 days is where I get big results, in lower blood pressure and new digestive stem cells, but i usually throw up acidic ketones in my stomach that day for being in ketosis and have to stop
Seems like a wonderful soup :D it was also a delight to hang out with you, hearing your experiences :) such a nice conversation :) that's so fun that Chef Bravo wants to write :)! Thank you so much
@@elisonlau2076 Not sure what you're asking. You mean "what was that," as in, the soup? Or, the reference to Broccoli Mum? LOL. Sorry. If you meant the latter, Broccoli Mum is a UA-cam channel run by Ami Deane who went WFPB and follows The Starch Solution. She prepares delicious foods that she demonstrates. She made a similar soup, and commented on how delicious it was. Hope that clears that up.
I had trouble with juice after my fast and was given this delicious soup. The first sips when the soup is really hot are divine. But it takes a while to drink the soup and after a few minutes, the potatos kind of congeal and become a little gummy. I'm going to make this with squash instead to see if I can prevent that glue-y texture as it cools.
Thank you Chef Aj and Chef Bravo. I have both of his cookbooks. I will need to try the soup. I am so happy Chef AJ that you had a great experience. I loved when I was there and the staff took souch great care of me. I hope to go back again some day.
CHEF AJ: Thank you for all you do. I’m looking to go to my first plant based/holistic retreat for about a week. True North seems exciting but are there others you recommend that are in the USA and upcoming for this year so I can see which one is best suited for me? Ideally, I would love one with several speakers from the plant based community. I’d appreciate the info. Thank you 🙏
@@CHEFAJ yes, I saw this one. Okay, but I’m looking for now in end of October or end of this year. But I’m hopeful I can make this one too next fall. Thank you!
I just saw a show off-Broadway in NYC about a small group of women and 1 man who are water fasting (one is on a juice fast) in Northern California. In this play, the program is for pain management but I immediately thought it has to be based on True North, having been there myself. It's based on a location about an hour north of SF.... The play is written by noted playwright Annie Baker and I wondered if she had been a guest at True North. The play is called Infinite Life. Not my favorite play of hers but enjoyable and thought provoking. I am super curious why AJ wanted to water fast given how slim she is. I do have one of Ramsey's cookbooks and will order the second one. Thank you for this video.
She kinda gives a reason for her fasting in the video. Fasting is more than just losing weight or getting over food addiction. She mentions her Thyroid medication was able to be cut in half.
Did you have to break the fast because you threw up or did you throw up after you had juice? I have wanted to do a water fast at True North and appreciate you both sharing your experiences. I’m making the soup tomorrow. I have made that soup with broccoli in the past and it was really good.
You should listen to the Medical Medium podcast on fasting and not go beyond a couple of days. You may be causing more problems in the long run than you fix.
interesting. I've been making a version of that soup for years but using some veggie broth, and a teaspoon of dijon mustard.... I've used russet potatoes ...I do peel them. and stick blend until super smooth. delicious and good anytime. I usually use a pack of zucchini from Trader Joe's and one good sized russet or two yukon golds. I don't like it too thick. I've often added a handful of spinach before blending. I love my instantpot but I find a saucepan works better for this and I don't any difference in time.
Six minutes for potatoes. Cook potatoes for three minutes and zucchini for three minutes more. Means you’ll have to vent and re-pressurise if you go that way. Personally, I’d cook both together for six minutes.
Does true north have any other locations? I live in the Midwest. I thought I heard there were other locations but I can’t seem to find the information.
Did you lose any weight? not that you need to. I love the idea of a water fast, for cleansing maybe, but I don’t have any health issues and I weigh under 100 lbs already at 5’1”.

How on earth did you do 21 days??!!!! Is need drugs. 🥹
I just adore him his mother must be so proud! He's such a humble sweet man .
I love Chef Bravo. I love seeing him on your show! I have the express book and it's the absolute easiet and best tasting food! Feel so fortunate to have this information. ❤️
I tried it. Tastes fantastic. I have been adding the potatoes to many soups to make them creamy. Thank you for sharing.

I just made the soup. It is delicious. I am home sick coughing and sneezing. This soup is just what I needed. Thank you chefs. ( AJ and Bravo)
I just drank 4 cups! Feel better
Thank You Chef AJ
I also made it today and LOVE it, my partner asked for a second bowl. It's SO Good!
Wow what’s the secret recipe ?
I'm definitely going to make this. I'd put onion and/or garlic powder in it. (Hey, if you're doing the McDougall Starch Solution, this could be your 50/50 plate.)

Thank you for sharing your experience I’m on day 7 of a 21 day water fast ❤
So cool to see him on your show- I have both of his books (ordered from True North last year)! And congratulations on completing your first fast :)
Just made it and OMG it's good even without spices. This might be a key component to healing GERD
After I fasted, Chef Bravo made me a soup of butternut squash, Swiss chard, and zucchini, which was sweet and salty from the vegetables, it was so good and healing, I still make it today.😊
Can't wait to try this! I fast 20 hours everyday. I'm going to use this to break my fast!
Your talk and the recipe sound so comforting ❤
I have made this soup several times and LOVE it! Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Thank you chef Bravo. Really enjoyed this simple and creamy soup. I didn't spice the soup and it was really delicious. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Yukon are said to be the easiest on the digestive system ❤. Yay!
Saw this on Facebook live and just made this soup exactly what I needed
Added splash of lemon so good
I have made this lots. Sounds strange, but I sprinkle a little nutmeg on top.
I'm so excited to do my first fast at True North in March 2024! My purpose is to get off high blood pressure medication, get off salt.
Good luck!
Seasoning, curry, black pepper, fenugreek. Yum.
I made it as I was watching the replay! Delicious and I had already eaten other foods! Thank you Chef and Chef!
I've done a lot of 5-6 day fasts, but the few times i made it to 7 days is where I get big results, in lower blood pressure and new digestive stem cells, but i usually throw up acidic ketones in my stomach that day for being in ketosis and have to stop
This was what I had after my fast as well! So good!
Seems like a wonderful soup :D it was also a delight to hang out with you, hearing your experiences :) such a nice conversation :) that's so fun that Chef Bravo wants to write :)! Thank you so much
Broccoli Mum made this last week. She drank it out of a big mug for breakfast - after she finished blending it. It really looked delicious!
What was that ?
@@elisonlau2076 Not sure what you're asking. You mean "what was that," as in, the soup? Or, the reference to Broccoli Mum? LOL. Sorry.

I made this for supper. It is delicious and so smooth and soothing. I’ll definitely make it again. Thanks Chef Bravo!
She never shares her recipes! So frustrating. I would love to try the stuff she tapes
@@pamtewes5276 She has mentioned she does post some of the recipes on Instagram. I haven't gone there yet, but you might try finding her there.
I had trouble with juice after my fast and was given this delicious soup. The first sips when the soup is really hot are divine.

Fascinating! TY for sharing your experience!
My pleasure!
I blended zucchini and spaghetti squash into soup. My healing journey is not to potato yet (I react) but hopefully soon! 🙏🏼
💜I just made the soup, adding celery. It’s delicious!
Do you cook the celery with the potatoes?
@@bourgsusan yes, I cooked celery with potatoes, added the zucchini after 5 min or so.
I make these soups all the time my family loves it ! Its so delious ❤😊
On a water fast how much water do they want you to drink, do they have a minimum or maximum amount you are to drink
Yes, I had to drink a minimum of 40 oz.
Thank you Chef Aj and Chef Bravo. I have both of his cookbooks. I will need to try the soup. I am so happy Chef AJ that you had a great experience. I loved when I was there and the staff took souch great care of me. I hope to go back again some day.
I just made the sou😢while watching.. absolutely delicious!
Great interview thank you 🙏
Thank You 💖 Chef AJ 🥰💞💖🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞
I’d throw in some dried mushrooms for additional flavor.
CHEF AJ: Thank you for all you do. I’m looking to go to my first plant based/holistic retreat for about a week.

Maybe the Plantrician confetence next September in Anaheim?
@@CHEFAJ yes, I saw this one. Okay, but I’m looking for now in end of October or end of this year. But I’m hopeful I can make this one too next fall. Thank you!

@@jgrysiak6566 thank you, I will check it out right now.
When i fast I eat with my nose and eyes lol
Chef did you ever create the IP version of this recipe? I am interested in making this in the IP like you =)

I said in thr video and the play sounds fascinating
@@CHEFAJ gosh...somehow I missed that part. Thank you.
Do they use all organic ingredients at true North?
I think so
Did you have to break the fast because you threw up or did you throw up after you had juice? I have wanted to do a water fast at True North and appreciate you both sharing your experiences.
I’m making the soup tomorrow. I have made that soup with broccoli in the past and it was really good.
after having the juice.

How long was your fast?
@@DavidGonzalez-sr5is I made it 4/7 days
Looking for the link to True North to complete application. Thank you.
It can be found on their website: www.healthpromoting.com
Is there anything that can be substituted for the zucchini? I live in a country where zucchini is only available in the summer.
He said the different veggies you could use
. . . once again, Chef AJ, you brought us a great vid with your very fun personality & highly valuable content...God Bless You So Much... 🥰
I appreciate that!
Probably this could cook 3 minutes in the IP. That is how long I cook yellow potatoes in the IP most days, about the same size as in the video.
So you just cook the zucchini and potatoe together and then pulse? No seasonings at all?
That's correct.
@@CHEFAJ I’m going to give it a try

Yukon potatoes 🍠 are my favorite , also sweet potato or yam soup is great too!
Did a 11 day juice fast it was fantastic at home ! It was so spiritual and made me feel so good ❤🎉
Six minutes for potatoes. Cook potatoes for three minutes and zucchini for three minutes more. Means you’ll have to vent and re-pressurise if you go that way. Personally, I’d cook both together for six minutes.

Periodic 24-hr dry fasts are even easier than water-fasting. I know not everyone’s a fan though.
Nice!
Did you lose any weight? not that you need to. I love the idea of a water fast, for cleansing maybe, but I don’t have any health issues and I weigh under 100 lbs already at 5’1”.
Is there a written recipe somewhere? I can’t follow the video to make it
Chef Bravo's contact infor is in the show notes if you'd like to request it from him
Aloha ❤
I think 3-4 min in instapot.
Hello Chef AJ
Hi there!
Leave the potato peelings on!
Tell me the free link please 🙏 how to get free lectures from TrueNorth. Dr Goldhamer..thank you i never knew!
It's the fourth one down in the description.
The link is in the show notes
Can I stay at True North and still work from there? I have a business and am needed even thru phone.
Yes, you can. Here is the link to True North for more information: www.healthpromoting.com
Hi there, Chef AJ! I’m totally w/you, re: celery. I do not like it, “Sam, I Am.”
I didn’t even notice it !
Where is the recipe?
Please check the show notes
My wife is allergic to celery. 😢
Is there any way to get the recipe so that I can print it out rather than watching the video and writing it down??
Unfortunately not
