Golden Soup

Prep / Cook / Total    -    5 / 25 / 30min

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• half an onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 head of cauliflower, chopped into about 5 cups of chunks or florets
• 1 cup cashews
• 1 tablespoon turmeric  – see notes
• 7–8 cups water
• 2 teaspoons salt
• a squeeze of lemon juice

Instructions

Sauté: Heat the oil in a deep soup pot. Add the onion, garlic, cauliflower, cashews, and turmeric. Sauté for 10 minutes or until very fragrant.

Simmer: Add the water (I usually start with 4 cups) and salt. Simmer until softened.

Blend: Transfer the soup to a blender and blend into a creamy consistency. It’s best to do this in batches.

Finish: Return to the soup pot and add any additional water (remaining 2-3 cups) if you need to thin it out. Also a good time to season with more salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Also a good time to top with spiced chickpeas and parsley and olive oil and more salt and put on your most comfy sweater and FALL IN LOVE. ♡

Editor’s Note
“This recipe tastes glorious when substituted with broccoli. Or combine cauliflower and broccoli together for daily iron and potassium absorption.”
